[01] Gov't welcomes Eurobank pact on working hours
Finance Minister George Alogoskoufis said on Thursday that he welcome
an agreement forged by the staff union at Athens-quoted EFG Eurobank
with management, settling working hours and pay at two branches whose
extended shifts had brought strike action.
"It is pleasing when reform leads to an improvement in competition
through a process of consensus," Alogoskoufis told reporters.
In a later statement, the Coalition of the Left, Movements and Ecology
claimed that Alogoskoufis must be in league with the Latsis shipping,
banking and energy group that owns private sector Eurobank, also
backing other corporate groups.
"Taking advantage of a unilateral agreement between management and one
of the bank's two unions - but not the other - and despite opposition
from the nationwide union, Alogoskoufis has again showed the
government's desire to extend bank working hours," the party's labour
spokesman, Dimitris Stratoulis, said in a statement.
