UNION RESEARCH FAIL

Our private sector Union, GSEE, recently released the findings of its survey of the Greek labour force. I will comment on this very soon but I think you'll find it speaks for itself.

My favourites so far:

  • ca. 173,000 employees in Greece claim to have a second job in which they are paid under the table. 
  • ca. 60,000 public sector workers have a second job - which they are not actually allowed to have.
  • Employees generally think their personal finances have not yet deteriorated as much as those of the country as a whole. 
  • Only about 50% of employees are willing to strike over the austerity measures. 
Strike anyone?
