The Workers’ Union at Webhelp (Concentrix) stands in solidarity with and supports the work stoppage declared by the NOKIA Workers’ Union on Wednesday, 23/7/25, from 14:00 to 16:00, against the arbitrary transfer of 8 colleagues to a subcontracting company.
These colleagues were informed “overnight” that their employer was changing—yet no one bothered to inform them about the new terms and conditions of employment. They also conveniently “forgot” to give them the right to choose!
This is nothing new in our sector. There have been far too many instances where colleagues have found themselves with a “gun to their head,” being forced to “choose” between being transferred to another project or losing their job altogether.
In a time of technological advancement—when everything should make it easier for workers to work less and enjoy the fruits of their labor more—instead of feeling secure in our jobs, we are constantly confronted with arbitrariness, exploitation, and the devaluation of our labor power.
We loudly declare that we will no longer tolerate unilateral or blackmailing decisions. We are workers—we produce wealth—and we have the right to determine, at the very least, where and how we work.
We support the fair demands of the NOKIA workers and demand:
- That no colleague be transferred
- That the process be frozen at least until 1/10/25, so that workers have the right to apply for other positions within NOKIA
- That all colleagues be absorbed into other departments within NOKIA without adverse changes
- That all workers and the Union receive an official and detailed update, with written answers to all the questions and demands that have been raised
The struggle of the NOKIA workers is our struggle, too.
All for one, and one for all!
