The Civil Servants’ umbrella federation ADEDY announced on Friday that it will not attend the opening address of the Thessaloniki International Fair this year because as it stated: “there is no point”. ADEDY characterized the meetings in the framework of the TIF on economic and social policy as public relations.
In an announcement ADEDY also called for a meeting with the government to discuss the problems faced by public administration and salary and pension earners.
“The government, in cooperation with the IMF and EU, decided on and are implementing the anti-popular and anti-labour Memorandum,” it said.
ADEDY further said that the memorandum policies and government’s selections have brought a sharp reduction in workers’ incomes, abolition of social security rights, and are leading labour relations to the barbarous conditions of the previous century. This will cause dramatic repercussions on the working people and society as unemployment is rising and poverty and penury are affecting an increasing proportion of the population, while at the same time the profits of the financially strong are increasing and the economy is being plunged into recession.
