SEV Chairman Spyros Theodoropoulos said: “The signing of the new collective labour agreement in the cement industry, a sector that makes a significant contribution to Greek production and the country’s economy as a whole, once again highlights the value of collective bargaining and cooperation between employers and employees. The pay rises and additional benefits, with particular emphasis on supporting families and children’s education, show that the social partners themselves can provide practical responses to employees’ current needs. At the same time, the agreement confirms that meaningful social dialogue can help improve working conditions, while boosting businesses’ productivity and competitiveness.”
