Trade Unions to Coordinate Actions on Hourly Wage

The trade unions PEΟ, SEK, and DEOK will meet to coordinate their actions regarding the hourly application of the minimum wage, ahead of the Labour Advisory Board. The General Secretary of PEO, Sotiroula Charalambous, reminded that the President of the Republic had promised to resolve the issue, but this has not happened. The unions insist on the application of sectoral wage scales instead of the general minimum wage, where they exist, and will intensify their pressure for the hourly application of the minimum wage, which is considered a fairer way of payment in many countries.
