KKE submits amendment to restore public sector 13th and 14th month salaries
The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has submitted an amendment to the Greek Parliament seeking the reinstatement of the 13th and 14th month salaries and pensions for public sector employees and retirees. The amendment is part of a bill from the Ministry of Labour and Social Security regarding professional insurance and supplementary pension savings.
In its explanatory memorandum, the KKE argues that Christmas and Easter bonuses, along with leave allowances, were abolished during the memorandum period due to claims of fiscal resilience. The party criticizes recent decisions by the Council of State and EU legislation for rejecting demands to restore these payments, asserting that such policies serve the interests of capital over labor.
Additionally, the ADEDY labor union has criticized the DAKE faction, alleging that their leadership has failed to effectively advocate for the reinstatement of these salaries and has not sufficiently challenged government fiscal arguments.
