In other words, the union does not want workers to be reviewed for their competence, and or working capability and certainly it does not agree to any dismissals in the public trade sector at all (but rather prefers that the private sector continue to pay for incompetent public state workers which are continually crippling the economy).
Question: Did these workers ever protest over the 1.3 million job losses in the private sector? NOT ON YOUR LIVES!
The protests, would begin on Monday, with employees occupying administrative and staff services, and rallies would take place all over Greece. In Athens, the rally would take place outside the Ministry of Finances. The union of local government employees POE-OTA would also hold a demonstration outside the Ministry of Administrative Reform.
And the fun will continue on Wednesday July 9th, 2014 when ADEDY holds yet another nationwide strike.
What all these unions do not seem to get is that the reviews have nothing to do with dismissals. The reviews are clearly being made to test the competence of each individual. Any other insinuation about possible wage cuts, or suspensions is just “misinformation” and/or "propaganda" by opposition parties.
On such a note, Minister of Administrative Reform Kyriakos Mitsotakis issued a letter to the president of the Central Union of Municipalities (KEDE) Konstantinos Askounis where he points out that the current public sector staff reviews are unrelated to suspensions, dismissals and wage cuts.
In the letter Mitsotakis “categorically” stresses that the reviews are unrelated to the government’s suspension and mobility plans.
He argues that the staff reviews are intended to improve efficiency in the public sector, by giving employees the necessary incentive to improve the quality of their works and services provided.
Mitsotakis concludes by requesting that KEDE carries out the necessary staff reviews and to submit any proposals for the new staff review process that will come into effect in 2015.
