INSTRUCTIONS February 12, 2026

With the official declaration of the work stoppage by the Athens Labor Center, all workers of the company are legally covered to participate in the work stoppage tomorrow, Friday 13/02/2026, from 12:00 to 16:00, as this constitutes a legally justified absence during those hours under Law 1264/82.

To participate in the work stoppage, you must inform your department’s shift supervisor.

On the day of the work stoppage:
You log out of the tool where you appear online at 12:00 and log in again at 16:00, provided your shift continues after that time. The template below explains anything that may need clarification regarding your participation in the work stoppage on 13/02/2026.

Template for the work stoppage:

Dear (Supervisor’s Name),

I will participate in the work stoppage on 13/02/2026 from 12:00 to 16:00, as declared by the Athens Labor Center. This constitutes a legally justified absence applicable to all employees, in accordance with Law 1264/82.

We demand the withdrawal of the disgraceful bill that effectively buries Collective Labor Agreements. The issue of Collective Labor Agreements concerns exclusively the workers and their unions and must be determined solely according to our needs.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,
(Name and Surname)

Joint Announcement by SETIP and Workers’ Union of Webhelp

Uncategorized March 13, 2024

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!
