A-Infos (en) Greece, Athen, APO, Land & Freedom: Solidarity in the struggle of call center workers (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

On Monday, May 27, call center workers will go on strike once again, 
based on the new 24-hour strike. This strike is the fourth in a row in 
the sector in question, after two others had preceded it in February, 
more specifically at Teleperformance, Webhelp, TTEC and FoundEver, and 
another one in March 2024. ----- Teleperformance Greece is one of the 
largest service providers in Greece. It is part of a multinational group 
of French interests with subsidiaries in 80 countries and employs 
330,000 workers worldwide, while working with a number of multinationals 
such as Microsoft, Apple, Volkswagen, Facebook, Canon, Netflix and many 
others. Taking advantage of both boss-friendly legislation, low wages 
and the special purpose visa status of third-country workers, it has 
become the group's management center for Southern Europe and the Middle 
East, employing more than 12,000 workers in the country. The constant 
flow of calls, the systematic increase in the production rate combined 
with the daily productivity control, the constant layoffs, the constant 
delays in the negotiation of a collective labor agreement, the meager 
wages outline the working conditions faced by the workers/ e.g. At the 
same time, Teleperformance, in the face of the formation of a business 
union and the dynamic mobilizations of the last few months, is trying to 
silence the collective struggle of the workers with pressure and 
intimidation.
We are in a period where state and capitalist aggression is constantly 
sharpened through a series of bills aimed at the bottom of anti-social 
and anti-labor restructuring, where the great majority of society is 
faced with both the risk of destitution and the imposition of more 
burdensome and savage conditions exploitation in the labor camps. The 
further plundering of the social base is done by the giantization of 
precision in basic goods of everyday life, while at the same time the 
meager wages and salaries are not enough to cover the cost of living. 
Those who stand up against the conditions of exploitation and oppression 
that are constantly imposed on those from below, the attack on the labor 
achievements by the criminalization of trade union action, the de facto 
illegalization of the strike, the abolition of labor inspection and the 
anti-labor laws that the one succeeds the other regardless of political 
management they face state and employer terrorism.
As anarchists we stand in solidarity with the just fight waged by call 
center workers against labor exploitation, precariousness and employer 
terrorism. Against state and capitalist restructurings of exclusions, 
subjugation and repression, the devaluation of our lives, impoverishment 
and oppression, against states and bosses that oppress our lives to 
intensify social and class struggles. Let us all stand together on the 
road and struggles of social resistance and class solidarity. The only 
prospect for a society of equality, solidarity and freedom, without 
exploitation and oppression, lies in our own hands, in the struggle for 
social and class emancipation.

Immediate satisfaction of the requests of the workers in the call centers

EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE - Health, Education, Food, Housing

We support the strike mobilization on Monday 27 May at 8.00 outside the 
offices of Teleperformance (Gravias 25, Piraeus).
