Seeing the announcements of EAME EIB / PPC regarding the recently signed BCC (because we voted for it, We believe that we must inform our colleagues that we have reached the signing of this BCC) and because patience has its limits, we think some things should to be said by name to restore the truth, because hypocrisy from some abounds.
The game of questions and answers (to ask and answer on our own), It is interesting that we will try to do the same even more interesting.
Before we move on to the questions - answers, to clarify that in the EAME GENOP ballot, where we also participate, head of the ballot is a) the president of EIB / PPC and head of EAME EIB / PPC and b) one of the pioneers, creator of EAME GENOP, Representative of the employees in the Board of Directors of PPC and member of EAME NBG / PPC plus. Nikos Fotopoulos, those who react primarily to the signing of the BCC.
1THE Question: Since when was it decided that we should start processes for signing a BCC and close it as soon as possible after its expiration?;
Answer: A year ago we discussed it on the ballot of EAME GENOP, we all agreed and made a decision on the Board of GENOP / PPC.
2The Question:When did the formal procedure for a meeting of the Commission start and for the requests to come in?;
Answer: In October 2020 as an EAME GENOP ballot we had all agreed that the BCC should close as soon as possible, not to get close to the aftermath, to have time to sign BCCs in other companies as well (IPTO,HEDNO, Melite and Megaloupolis Lignite and Renewable), as well as due to the conditions prevailing with the epidemic, the continuous extension of the term of office of the Board of Directors of GENOP, we did not yet know where we would end up.
3the Question: What will be the framework of the BCC;
Answer: It should ensure all that we have gained so far from the previous BCC, adding another positive sign.
4the Question:The Primary Associations were asked to approve the draft of the BCC through decisions of the BoD, before the Board of GENOP goes to a meeting;
Answer: Yes. The only Association that did not meet was the EIB / PPC.
5THE Question: Before the meeting of the Board of GENOP / PPC, There was a discussion on the ballot of EAME GENOP and what was decided;
Answer: Before the Board of Directors of GENOP / PPC there was a discussion on the ballot of EAME GENOP, where they participated 17 members. From 17 members of 13 decided to sign the BCC as it stands, because it ensures everything we had with the previous BCCs and it also has a positive sign since all the colleagues, without exception, have a financial benefit and solve institutional issues that have preoccupied us before.
This is where we talk about hypocrisy, because the great disagreement of those who did not vote in favor, was on the issue of fellow technicians who can not go down salary scales, without the necessary professional licenses an issue on which we also agree but not everything can be solved by a Collective Agreement.
Regarding the plus. Photopoulos, who did not vote for the BCC on the Board of Directors of PPC, as it should, because the ballot that supported him to be elected was EAME GENOP and not EAME EIB, but he preferred to write on the soles of his shoes the decision of EAME GENOP.
The position he had for the BCC is that in the economic part it is good, that we can not talk about big increases and provoke society, but also to see if we can solve the problem with the scales of the technicians.
Colleagues - colleagues
All these years we operate as a faction, We stood by the employees with honesty and clear positions, which was always in their best interest.
Nor did we popularize, nor have we ever exaggerated.
Seeing today the whole situation that is going to be created regarding at least the part of EAME, we have to say that it is not the BCC that signed the occasion for these disputes, but the desire of some to create issues, considering that this scheme may no longer serve them and they should create conditions for dissolution to achieve whatever personal plans they have made.
Otherwise it is not explained to create such conditions of tension and call colleagues, who in hard times pulled the cart out of mud and who were always the ones who gave the power for negotiation and struggles in the Federation, submissive and hidden in burrows.
Let them look back at the strike made by the Federation to pass Hatzidakis' bill, selling units, cut a reduced current, abolished the CCP and put HEDNO in an equity process.
Let them look at the participation rates in the areas of responsibility of those who accuse that hid in the burrows, in relation to other workplaces and let them tell us who the submissives are in their announcements.
Colleagues - colleagues
We were not in the mood to enter into a controversy with announcements, but everything has its limits and the plus. of EAME NBG, they have overcome them and are obviously doing it on purpose.
We will always say things by name. We do not owe anyone anything. On the contrary, they owe us.
