The KKE is talking regarding trade union prosecution due to a conviction once morest a trade union executive for participating in a strike in 2019.
Specifically, it states that: “The KKE condemns the unacceptable sentencing decision of the 6th Single-Member Misdemeanor Court of Athens once morest the president of the Press-Paper Workers’ Union in Attica, which imposed a 10-month suspended prison sentence on him. The trial was based on non-existent accusations by the employer regarding the large 10-day strike at a factory in the sector in July 2019.
This is an unacceptable and unsupported decision by the president of the court, despite the fact that the charges collapsed in the courtroom following the police officer and prosecution witnesses testified that the president of the union had no involvement in the events complained of and while the prosecutor asked for his acquittal .
It is clear that the right to strike and to take trade union action was tried in this trial. But the crackdown and bans on trade union action will not go away. Workers will continue their struggle for work with rights, organized in their unions, once morest business groups and their state.”
