The labour dispute between the Hellenic Bank and ETYK still remains as regards the controversial issue of the management’s right to hire people in permanent positions, without prior approval from the union.
The timeframe of 15 days which was set on October 14 for the resolution of the dispute through direct negotiations has expired.
Executives of the bank and the union involved in the negotiations told StockWatch that the gap between the two sides with regards to the dispute remains.
However, the dialogue between the two sides continues with the assistance and not the mediation of the Ministry of Labour, since based on the opinion of Attorney General, the issue does not consist a labor dispute.
In his opinion, the Attorney General points out particularly that the employer's right to freely choose who will be recruited is not a labor dispute.
ETYK on the other side, cites an agreement with the management of the HB under which the filling of positions is made in consultation with the union.
The department of labor relations of the Ministry of Labour in an attempt to avoid a new labor crisis at the Hellenic Bank asked the two sides for a further 10 day extension of negotiations in order to reach an agreement.
The new timeframe of the Ministry of Labour expires on Monday, November 16th.
On 14 October the labor minister Zeta Emilianidou who intervened to defuse dynamic measures at the HB, invited the two sides to accept that any agreement between them will be binding, a proposal which was accepted.
