The Greek government’s pledges for minimum wage and collective contracts will be implemented, Greek Labour Minister Panos Skourletis on Tuesday reassured addressing an event on the occasion of the World Day for Safety and Health at Work.
Skourletis stated that “beyond safety and health, there is insecurity to those that work and despair to those that lost their jobs. We are at a crucial period and we are conducting difficult and unprecedented negotiations. On the government’s part, I want to reassure you that we will not lose the way to defend the working people’s interests. The legislative initiatives on the gradual restoration of the minimum wage, the restoration of the collective contracts with their real context in order for the working people’s voice to be heard, the restructuring and upgrading of the labor supervisors body and all those we set as our main priorities are underway and will proceed,” he said.
