CYPRUS: Cement workers to continue strike action

Εmployees at the Vasilikon cement factory have vowed to continue strike action indefinitely until owners implement the terms of the collective wage agreement. 

During a meeting of employees, representatives of unions SEK, PEO and DEOK appealed to employers to accept the Labour ministry mediating proposal.

The strike action follows a 24 hour warning strike on February 7th, with employees saying that the company continues to act unilaterally, violating the collective agreement.

The employers and industrialists federation expressed disappointment on the decision to strike indefinitely and called on unions to consider the consequences of their actions both for the cement factory as well as the construction industry that is facing a major crisis.
