Trade unionists of the Public Power Corporation (PPC) employees’ federation (GENOP) late Sunday staged a take-over of the PPC headquarters on Halkokondyli street in downtown Athens and were still in place on Monday morning.
The protestors have draped two large banners on the building facade, one with the slogan “We won’t sell and are not for sale” while the second notes the prohibition of hiring at the PPC although the public utility’s president N. Fotopoulos has said that the PPC spends more than 100 million euros annually for overtime.
GENOP has also planned a protest march from the PPC headquarters to the Finance Ministry on Monday afternoon, and will also take part in a nationwide labor strike that has been called for Tuesday by the country’s two largest umbrella federations GSEE and ADEDY representing private and public sector workers respectively.
