From 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, all workers in OKYPY's hospitals went on a two-hour work stoppage, on the occasion of non-compliance with the Organization's commitments, for the conclusion of a collective agreement for the staff, who were hired with personal contracts.

With placards in hand, which read “we demand job security” and “here is a strike”, hospital workers across Cyprus left their duties and went outside to protest the current situation . 

In his statements, the representative of PEO, Nikos Georgiou, said that “I want to say that we have been forced to go on strike, due to the attitude of OKYPY, which insists that it does not want to cover with a collective agreement the multitude of workers who are with private employment contracts, in a semi-state organization, which is one of the largest in Cyprus, leaving the whole world in job insecurity”.

As Mr. Georgiou pointed out, all the workers participate in the strike “and the hourly staff and the doctors and nurses, as a sign of support for the fair request to regulate the rights of these people, with collective agreements”.

Mr. Georgiou added that their effort started last March, however, as he indicated “OKYpY is deliberately obstructing. Not even the minister's intervention was able to convince OKYPY to respect the labor institutions and treat these workers, like all the parastatals in Cyprus”. 

The representative of PEO indicated that before deciding on the work stoppage they had exhausted all possibilities. “We promised the workers that we would have an answer from OKYPY, who promised that he would give us an answer by the end of November. After two announcements, in which we publicly called on OKYPY to give an answer, we were left with no other option, other than to go into a two-hour restrictive work stop, which cannot be done for the sake of doing it. If OKYpY wants to destroy the entire labor system in Cyprus and to introduce new morals and customs, that in the wider public sector they will be treated as the employer wants, without contracts, then our struggle will culminate and we will go to new dynamic mobilizations” .

Yesterday the Minister of Health sat in on a meeting with the participation of OKYPY and trade unions and as it turns out he is expected to submit a new proposal.

According to the Ministry of Health, from the information he has so far , the two-hour work stoppage announced by the workers is expected to proceed normally.

In an update of the Ministry it is stated that the new proposal of OKYPY will be put before the trade unions for further consultation.

It is noted that for his part the minister, after hearing the positions of the trade unions on of the issues identified in relation to the collective agreements, “repeated to the parties involved that through dialogue and demonstration of good will issues that arise can be resolved”.

It is added that the minister will return after the mission of a new proposal with a new meeting.
