The meeting on Sunday will set the basis of the negotiations on three topics: collective labour agreements, mass layoffs and the union law, he said, adding that there will possibly be an agreement on some issues which concern legality. "Just as we have said we will respect the decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union on mass layoffs, we believe it's evident that the other side will respect the decisions of the European Committee of Social Rights which has already ruled […] that the minimum wage for the young is contrary to the European social map," Katrougalos said. He also said the second base for discussion is the report by the European Parliament's Committee of Independent Experts. "Based on these two methodological principles, we will discuss all the issues," he added. Athens News Agency: News in English Directory - Previous Article - Next Article |
