At 2 November in the Municipal Council we brought for discussion the impending dismissals of the employees in the accommodation structure of unaccompanied girls in Pentalofos.
The persistent attitude of the Municipal Authority for dismissal of employees had no limits. With the excuse that their contracts have expired, threatening employees to change their contract with a new contract entitled acquisition. For those who do not know what a title deed means, means 300 € per month and at any time the employer, in this case the Municipality evicts you and puts someone else, strengthening micropolitical transactions that translate into votes using public money.
It is not bad, gentlemen of the Municipal Authority, to make a mistake. It's bad when you don't hear anyone, you function as a Narcissist and you want neither to hear nor to be corrected – corrections.
It is also bad to make decisions that hurt people and act in a vengeful way.
We, the local authorities, must safeguard and defend the rights of our citizens.. This is what the combination of "Active Citizens" did from the first moment, sided with the workers.
Last week the Municipal Authority of the Municipality of Voio was forced to proceed URBAN REVOLUTION because of the pressure exerted by the entire opposition to defend workers' rights. Obliging the Municipal Authority to extend the contract for 3 months rather than firing them and threatening to re-hire them with 300 €.
The Association of Active Citizens calls on all employees to claim their just demands and not to be afraid even when threatened.
Congratulations to the employees of the Structure who rose to their feet and won a fight thanks to their unity and determination.
We will always be on the side of every employee for whatever reason he is either threatened or fired.
