Instructions for participating on the strike on May Day

With the official declaration of the May Day strike by GSEE, the General Confederation of Workers of Greece all of us are covered to not attend work on Wednesday starting from 00.00 until 00.00 Thursday the 2nd of May, as this is a justified absence by law.

You can declare the strike the day before, the same day, or the day you return to work. We advise you to inform the same day or day after, so it would be more effective.

Send them template below. So we will make sure they declare everything properly. Declare it ESPECIALLY if they have put you on a day off as a “usual suspect”. So the participation can be counted properly.

On the day of the strike:

Do not log in, and if you do not feel like it, do not answer any calls by the management. They have no right to ask for any explanation or force you to come to work.
During the strike those working from home or in the buildings, we meet in front of the main building of Teleperformance at 08.00 on Wednesday the first of May at
Gravias 25.
We meet at 10.30 at Piraeus Pasalimani.
Together we will win! No one is alone!
