Following the increase in the total confirmed cases at the Kardia HPP station, it is confirmed in the most categorical way that the workplaces are outbreaks of the virus and the workers are unprotected against the pandemic.. It is proven by the actions of PPC SA so far that the health and safety of employees are treated as costs.
Today we must take into account that in the workplaces of PPC SA there are older employees, ευπαθείς ομάδες λόγω και του αντικείμενου της εργασίας. Αυτό οφείλεται στην απελευθέρωση της αγοράς ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας που συρρίκνωσε κατά πολύ τις προσλήψεις νέων εργαζομένων, and age, all the last years, as well as the tragic changes in insurance by all governments, changes in retirement limits. All this makes the company staff even more vulnerable to the pandemic.
Mask and antiseptics can not be the only protection against the pandemic as it has been proven by reality itself. Η κυβέρνηση και η μεγαλοεργοδοσία για να κρύψουν τις δικές τους ευθύνες τα ρίχνουν όλα στην ατομική ευθύνη.
Colleagues, not to accept that we are to blame for the pandemic. Reject the propaganda of the government and the well-fed media. For this, employers need to take all measures to limit the spread of the virus in the workplace, especially for mines and stations. This consists of:
- Observance of all necessary measures to protect the health of workers, observance of hygiene and safety measures in the workplace.
- Massively, repeated tests on all employees (permanent, contractors, 8menites )
- Regular disinfection of the stations (workshops, buses, control, offices, from etc.)
- Strict adherence to health protocols for colleagues who are ill or have come into contact with a confirmed case.
- Free provision of PPE and control of their proper use (masks and gloves, work uniforms)
- Decongestion of spaces and any means of transport of workers is crowded.
We call on the management of PPC SA to take all necessary measures for the smooth operation of the Kardia substation. With so many cases, gaps are created in posts, which with the last voluntary departures are difficult to cover as there is a shortage of employees. Many needs were already covered with 10 hours and 12 hours! Έτσι να προχωρήσει σε προσλήψεις και σε μονιμοποίηση των εργολαβικών και 8μηνιτών εργαζόμενων στους σταθμούς και τα ορυχεία. Αν μπει σε κίνδυνο η λειτουργιά του σταθμού αυτό θα έχει τραγικές συνέπειες στην παροχή και λειτουργία της τηλεθέρμανσης με τις εργατικές λαϊκές οικογένειες της Πτολεμαΐδας να απειλούνται να πληρώσουν το μάρμαρο της απολιγνιτοποίησης αλλά και της εγκληματικής πολιτικής της κυβέρνησης που έπαιξε στο τζόγο την υγεία των εργαζομένων και του λαού.
SEEEN in these conditions fights for:
-Mass recruitment of doctors and nursing staff. Permanence of all contractors and health care assistants.
-Enforcement of all structures of the private Health and Welfare sector,
-No dismissal, no cuts in employment rights.
