Pafos Live 26 July 2023
The staff of the garbage collection department of the Pafos Municipality will go on a 24-hour work stoppage next Monday. The decision was taken yesterday at a General Assembly of the employees, according to an announcement by the trade unions SEK Pafos, PEO Pafos and DEOK Pafos.
As stated in the announcement, "despite warnings to the Pafos Municipality to take measures, with the gradual replacement of the outdated vehicle fleet, the serious understaffing of the service, the failure to take rest leave for a long time, unfortunately there was no response."
With regret, it is added, "we found that in recent days crews are staffed with only one worker, which puts their lives in immediate danger, the staff has no choice but to take measures to protect them."
The workers and the trade unions representing them regret any inconvenience suffered by the public but had no other choice, conclude the trade unions EESTA, SEK Pafos, SIDIKEK, PEO Pafos, DEOK Pafos.
