Fixed-contract workers at communications firm

The communications company Go should rethink its strategy and increase investment in the retraining of its workers and the creation of good quality jobs, rather than reducing workers through voluntary schemes and engaging new workers on a fixed contract.

Call centres are a case in point, where workers are engaged on short contracts, thus increasing insecurity and making it difficult for workers to plan their future and obtain services such as bank loans. From many studies carried out, it results that the efficiency of workers on a fixed contract is low when compared with other workers who are in a secure job. This because workers on contract feel estranged from their work.

Żminijietna - Voice of the Left appeals to the government and the business sector to invest more in good quality jobs rather than precariousness.

Competition should not result in a low standard of living and inferior working conditions.

We are hereby showing our full solidarity and support for all workers who are facing discrimination and humiliation due to neoliberal policies and procedures.

On a European level, we support the left spectrum made up of the united left block, the socialists and green parties which campaign in favour of a social Europe based on good quality jobs.
