The islands will be left without ferry ships on May Day as the Panhellenic Maritime Federation (PNO) announced a 24-hour nationwide strike in all categories of ships, starting at 00.01 on May 1, 2022, Sunday, and ending at 24.00 on the same day.
In a statement, PNO points out that “seafarers pay tribute, honor and memory this year to the emblematic day that literally changed the course of history and is identified and intertwined with the diverse struggles of all workers in our country and around the world.”
The struggle is intensifying
Faced with the value of human life and dignity at work, Seafarers continue and intensify their struggle by proposing, among other things, the absorption of all unemployed colleagues, the elimination of undeclared work, the implementation of Collective Bargaining and legislation and the signing of new Contracts in all categories of ships, the immediate abolition of all anti-labor provisions which literally violate our own fundamental trade union rights, the statement said.
The continuous violation of the legal working hours and employment limits of Seafarers must finally be stopped, the reduced organic compositions must be abolished immediately and new ones must be introduced that really meet contemporary needs, PNO underlines.
It is also imperative and immediate to apply the summer organic compositions on the passenger ships as well as to upgrade the medical care and to relieve our retired colleagues from the successive cuts of their main and auxiliary pensions by ensuring their lump-sum end of service payments, is added to the announcement.
