Specifically, a distributor in the center of Thessaloniki, in Kamara, and another in the east in Toumba, “in their attempt to close another order due to labor “accidents”. In both cases members of the Union were present at the scene.
“The intensification that breaks bones and forces us to cope with the conditions of the employer, the 12-hour working hours, whether for employees with two or three jobs, or for freelancers who are struggling to cope with the onslaught of our income. with levy and exactness. Sometimes with rain, sometimes with frost and snow, sometimes with heat, without stopping, without breath. With poorly maintained machines that our salaries are not enough to fix, with insufficient or no protection measures. With broken ribs, many with blades in arms and legs, with fractures and injuries. And all this in carmaniola streets, which turn into torrents at the first crumb. They are to blame for industrial accidents!”, he emphasizes to SETEPE.
“The streets of our city are watered with our blood. There are hundreds of cases in recent years. It is no exaggeration to say that the shift begins and we do not know if we will manage to return home safe and sound. State and employer have enormous responsibilities. They are the ones who shaped and continue to shape a framework that is solely driven by the profits of the large employers in the sector. With tailor-made contracts, we are moved as long as we can last and then thrown away like broken gears. We will not allow this situation again! We will no longer be spectators to dozens of accidents. To meet our needs, to impose the necessary measures to ensure that we do not end up in hospitals, to put an end to this nightmare. We are taking combat positions,” he notes.
