The Panhellenic Federation of Food and Tourism Workers (POEET) took part yesterday, 3 November 2026, in a tripartite meeting at the Ministry of Labour with representatives of Pizza Fan, Labour Minister Niki Kerameus and Secretary-General Kostas Milapidis to discuss the future of the company's 2,500 employees.
In light of the commitments made by the company’s representatives, the federation says it is cautiously optimistic about the future.
In particular, the company has committed to:
Paying the outstanding wages for October.
Taking on all 2,500 employees under any new structure that may emerge at the company.
Recognising the employer’s default towards employees.
Of course, these commitments depend on the business reopening immediately and the competent authority unfreezing its bank accounts.
As for payment of the outstanding October wages, the federation makes clear that the vast majority of employees at franchise stores have either not been paid at all or have received an advance. Worse, they have been paid a fictitious wage, as their pay was falsely under-reported, with undeclared earnings that cannot be claimed.
POEET makes clear that it will continue to stand alongside the employees of Pizza Fan and those of the Giannakopoulos group (Choriatiko), defending their labour rights.
