28 FEBRUARY

Instructions for the 24h General Strike on 28/02

admin INSTRUCTIONS February 26, 2025

With the official declaration of the 24-hour strike by Labour Centres and Federations all over the country and by the GSEE in which the Workers’ Union in Webhelp (Concentrix) participates, we are all covered to strike on Friday 28/2 from 00.00 of the same day until 00.00, as it is a justified absence by law.

We do not need to declare a day off or use paid leave, as 1264/82 covers all employees and to urge us to do so is illegal.

All on Strike, Friday 28 February with the massive demonstration at Syntagma at 11:00.
We all meet at 9.30 in front of Public at Syntagma (on Stadiou Street).

It’s their profits or our lives
THE CRIME OF THE TEMPI WILL NOT BE COVERED UP

Template for strike:

Dear (name of supervisor),

I will participate in the 24-hour nationwide strike on 28/02 declared by the General Confederation of Greek Workers (GSEE), the Labour Centers, the Federations and our Workers’ Union which decided to support the strike.

Participation in the strike is a justified absence, which concerns all workers and our company in accordance with Law 1264/82.

I stand in support of the Unions’ demand for full accountability both criminal and political for the Tempe tragedy.

All necessary health and safety measures must be immediately implemented for everyone, especially for colleagues working remotely.

A Collective Labor Agreement must be signed with rights and achievements for all, including wage increases that meet our modern needs.

Thank you very much for your time in advance.

Sincerely,

(Name and surname)

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.

THE CRIME OF THE TEMPE WILL NOT BE COVERED UP! All join the strike on 28 FEBRUARY! GENERAL ASSEMBLY of the Union, SATURDAY 15/02 12.00

Everyone at the General Assembly of our Union, Saturday 15 February, at 31st Platonos Street (Kallithea),12:00pm.

28 February we all strike!

Do not cover up the crime in Tempe!

Colleagues,

The Workers’ Union in Webhelp (Concentrix) calls on all colleagues to participate in the strike on the 28th of February, to join our voices with all colleagues in the sector, in Teleperformance, in Foundever, in TTEC who are experiencing the same or very close problems as ours. With students, pupils, railway workers, teachers, health workers, miners and dockers.

As workers, we know first-hand what the “let’s go and see” logic that led to the state crime in Tempe means. The intensification, the pressure, the shutting down of departments, the layoffs, the warning letters, the panic attacks. All to maximize their profitability with complete disregard for our lives.

We all live and work in a vast vale of Tempe, in a general work jungle, and dangers at every turn of everyday life, whether in trains and public transport, in understaffed hospitals, in the schools of the sponsors who want to impose, where ceilings by chance do not fall on the heads of our children. The intensification, the pressure, the monitoring of every last second of our working day.

Our struggle for the signing of a Collective Labour Agreement with rights and achievements for all, increases that cover our modern needs, immediate implementation of the Presidential Decree on the organisation of working time for working on screens, the immediate provision of ergonomic equipment to all colleagues who work by telework. It is directly linked to the struggle against the logic that created the crime in Tempe, the policy that promotes its cover-up.

Our lives are NOT a cost! On 28 February we all participate in the strike!

We will not step back! We will not accept to live like modern slaves for their profits! We assert that the promise we made to be the voice of all those that died will be fulfilled by fighting to the end!

We demand:

- Hold all criminal and political accountable for the crime of Tempe.
- Stop the dismissals now.
- The signing of a Collective Labour Agreement with: permanent contracts for all colleagues, raises for all that meet our needs, rights and gains that affect every aspect of our work.
- Immediate implementation of the necessary health and safety measures for all, especially for colleagues who work from home and provide ergonomic desks and chairs.

We call:

- To the General National strike on 28/02 and the gathering at Syntagma at 11.00 am, which has already been announced by dozens of Labor Centers, Federations and Unions all over Greece.
