PRESS RELEASE

Everyone on Thursday, August 14, at 7 a.m. at the Port of Piraeus! The cruise ship carrying Israeli soldiers is unwelcome!

PRESS RELEASE August 10, 2025

STOP the involvement in and support of the genocide against the Palestinian people!

GREECE WILL NOT BECOME A HAVEN FOR WAR CRIMINALS!

The Workers’ Union in Webhelp (Concentrix) denounces the provocative arrival of a cruise ship from Israel at the port of Piraeus, carrying Israeli soldiers for “recreation,” at a time when the Palestinian people are being slaughtered daily in Gaza by the murderous state.
This cruise ship should meet the same fate as ships carrying military equipment, which were never allowed to dock at the port.

The New Democracy government, along with the other bourgeois parties, bears major responsibility for its support of the murderous state. Together with the Israeli embassy, they are using the arrival of this cruise ship to whitewash the crimes of the murderous state and to suppress any reaction or expression of solidarity with the Palestinian people, under the pretext of “antisemitism.”

We call on all workers in the company to actively and resolutely express our solidarity with the Palestinian people. The death toll has exceeded 60,000, the majority of them children. At the same time, the number of children and civilians dying from hunger continues to rise.

We all join the protest rally — strong, united, and determined — on Thursday, August 14, at 7:00 a.m., at Gate E12, Port of Piraeus.

We demand:
• No economic, political, or military cooperation and support for the murderous state of Israel.
• Freedom for Palestine!
• An immediate end to the unacceptable operation aimed at occupying the Gaza Strip.
• Recognition of the Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in line with UN resolutions.

 

Press release for the General Assembly. We strike on 28 February!

Press release for the General Assembly

 

All join the strike on 28 February!

Athens, 16-02-2025

Our Union held a General Assembly on Saturday 15/02 for the preparation of the strike.

Through rich discussion and exchange of experience from the company’s departments, we exchanged thoughts, opinions and concerns.

The strike on 28 February will be more massive!

To send a strong message to the government of the New Democracy, to the coalition “opposition” of SYRIZA-PASOK and all those who support the government policy, that we workers in the dilemma “their profits or our lives” will always choose the former!

We strike!

  • We strike so that the crime in Tempe is not covered up! All criminal and political responsibilities must be held accountable.
  • We strike to stop the dismissals in all departments now.
  • We strike to demand health and safety measures for all workers.
  • We are striking to get a Collective Labour Agreement signed with permanent contracts for everyone, with raises that cover our needs, rights and achievements that affect every aspect of our work.

The General Assembly decided the following:

  • Participation in the strike on 28 February, at 11.00 am at Syntagma.
  • Organizing meetings in the following period by project on the subject of the CLA.

PRESS RELEASE November 11, 2024

Athens, 11/11/2024

On Saturday 9/11 the General Assembly of our Union took place. A great deal of experience came from the mobilizations of the previous period. The need to continue the mobilizations as a whole and by department was highlighted, as many of our demands have not yet been met.

Special mention was made of the struggle for a Collective Labour Agreement even though the company has refused to start negotiations.

A notable reference was made to the company’s attempt to terrorize us by dragging our Union’s Board of Directors to court for the strike that it organized and had massive participation in a Greek-speaking department on 10/10.

This fact proves how the company is in the end intimidated by the organisation of the workers’ struggle and the power we have in our hands when we decide to fight for our rights. 

After the voting, the following decisions were taken:

– Participation in the 24-hour national strike on 20/11.

– Mobilization at the Ministry of Immigration on 18/11, 19:00.

– Continuation of the struggle for the signing of a Collective Labour Agreement.

– Meetings by project.

– Organization of a solidarity event for Palestine.

PRESS RELEASE

PRESS RELEASE February 23, 2024

Athens, 23/2/2024

SETIP informs the workers that yesterday, Friday 23 February, a delegation consisting of the President of SETIP Alekos Perrakis and members of the temporary board of the Worker’s Union of Webhelp, held the first meeting with Webhelp, for the signing of an Industrial Collective Labour Agreement.

The discussion revealed that the company is positive about collective bargaining and workers representation. However, it did put legalistic conditions on our sectoral union. To remove any argument from the employers we insisted that negotiations continue and once there is an agreement, we can find a way to overcome any formal obstacles. We set out our basic demands based on our framework and committed to sending the draft collective agreement proposal on Monday to be discussed and decided at tomorrow’s meeting of Webhelp workers. We stressed that we would not tolerate it being seen as an unjustified absence for colleagues to participate in the strike and the company for its part committed to making a correction to the schedule to allow for the possibility of being declared before the strike.

The continuation of the negotiations should find the union even stronger, the workers should thicken its ranks to give strength to their voice. 

We are all massively participating in the meeting of workers in Webhelp, on Sunday 25/2 at the Athens Labour Centre at 5.00 pm to co-decide and openly discuss the draft of the Industrial Collective Labour Agreement and decide the steps to be taken.
