We salute the thousands of strikers who fought the battle in our third round of strikes against intimidation, threats and manipulation by the company. All those who joined our struggle for the first time. We are here and we continue, because our demands are fair and our struggle so far counts only victories!
We have managed to pressure Webhelp, breaking the isolation of remote working, going against the threats, the evaluation programme, the closures of departments, the calls for raises that never came. We didn’t sit down “behaving” as they wanted us to, but we joined our voices in our struggle!
In a very short time, we have managed to discuss collectively, in more and more departments, in almost every language. Through mass collective processes we decide our every step, we become more and stronger!
We are already victorious because our fair demands have brought us together, united us and now we are fighting side by side.
We are already victorious because out of the fire of our strike struggle the Workers’ Union of Webhelp (WUW) was born and as of yesterday it is legally approved.
We are already victorious because after the workers’ mobilization and our pressure the Ministry of Immigration has backed down on the visa issue. The new immigration code that was passed may have made the visa worse from special purpose to post-immigration, but the Minister pledged in Parliament that it will not get worse. However, and the existing regulations still hold colleagues hostage. That is why on 21/3 at 6.30 pm we continue with a mobilisation at the Ministry of Immigration.
We are already victorious because we have managed to break the multinationals’ front, with Webhelp sitting at the table and having our demands formally submitted to them.
We the workers who make all their wealth have made it clear that we want a Collective Agreement, with rights, with substantial improvement in working conditions and we are not backing down. We now officially call on the company to come to the table and discuss without any more excuses.
We are strengthening our Union, WUW, joining it and organizing our struggle in all departments of the company. On any issue big or small we get in touch, no one is left alone.
We are going on a mobilization on Thursday 21 March 6.30 pm at the Ministry of Immigration to have residence permit as workers in any company in any industry!
We are here, we are many, we will win!
