A recent announcement from the Trikala labor center addressed employee gatherings outside the police department and courts in favor of the owner of the biscuit manufacturer Violand, who is currently facing legal proceedings. The labor center has criticized these gatherings, stating that they were not spontaneous but orchestrated by the company's management and close associates of the employer. They allege that the employer's influence over the workers is evident and raises questions about the workers' true sentiments regarding the legal issues at hand.

Furthermore, the labor center highlighted a series of revelations concerning the responsibilities of the management that have emerged from ongoing investigations and testimonies from employees. These findings suggest that the current owner may not have been upholding his obligations towards the workers, as multiple accounts indicate issues such as unpaid overtime. The calls for solidarity from the labor center amplify ongoing tensions between employees and management, particularly regarding workers’ rights and protections.

The labor center is urging employees to reflect on their situation, emphasizing that at any moment, they could find themselves in the shoes of the victims or the families affected by the management's actions. The implied message is clear: the interests of the employer and the well-being of the workforce are not aligned, and the efforts to rally support for the owner may overshadow the legitimate grievances of the employees. This situation underscores broader issues within labor relations in Greece and raises significant questions about corporate accountability and worker rights.
