The entire announcement by Giorgos Gavrilos
“A few days ago, the Government had advertised the increase in the minimum wage, trying to change the negative agenda that had been formed against it. In the end, the die was cast at 830 euros gross, a little over 700, net for 600,000 employees, when the total number of employees in the private sector is approximately 2.5 million.
The increase that the government staff is boasting about is around 6.4%, with inflation from 2019 to date having increased by 15%, the purchasing power of Greeks being at -33%, second last in Europe of 27, and food inflation to have exceeded 6%.
The harsh reality that the Government refuses to admit is that every increase that has been announced is “swallowed” by the wave of accuracy and overpricing, leaving households vulnerable to daily needs and obligations and even leading to the loss of two minimum wages per year.
SYRIZA-PS requests an increase in the minimum wage, at least to 900 euros. Reinstating collective bargaining and boldly raising the average wage to address the ongoing impoverishment of workers and society.
Faced with a Government that exploits the impasses of workers and announces “band-aids” for the traumas they have caused to the social fabric, its policies need an immediate response to the implementation of measures to support the world of work, so as to put an end to the depreciation and to impoverishment”.
