Piraeus and Thessaloniki port workers decided to abstain from every overtime work and work on weekends throughout February and the holding of a 24-hour strike on January 30.
Merchant Marine and Island Policy minister George Voulgarakis has met with port workers who refused to accept his assurances regarding the maintenance of their labour rights after the granting to private transport companies of the container stations in Piraeus and Thessaloniki ports and extended their strike action.
Meanwhile, the draft law which will be submitted in the coming days in Parliament and which concerns adjustments regarding the personnel of the Piraeus and Thessaloniki port authorities was presented.
Referring to the strike action by the port workers and to their negative positions to the government’s plans for the modernisation of the Piraeus and Thessaloniki ports, Voulgarakis stressed that there is no doubt that the draft law will soon become law of the state and the global operators will be an existing reality.
