Immediate Renewal of KOME Contracts Demanded by EODY Employees

Employees with KOME contracts at the National Public Health Organization (EODY) in Greece are calling for the immediate renewal of their contracts as their current ones are set to expire soon, jeopardizing thousands of jobs.

Employees working under KOME contracts at the National Public Health Organization (EODY) in Greece have expressed their concern regarding their precarious employment situation in an open letter, particularly as their contracts are set to expire on March 31. Over 900 individuals who were employed during the COVID-19 pandemic are at risk of losing their jobs, as their contracts have been short-term, built on a cycle of renewals every two to six months for the past five to six years. The union representing these workers has highlighted that despite the government's promotional campaigns and public relations efforts from the Ministry of Health, the reality for these employees remains harsh. They face a continuous cycle of uncertainty with contracts that do not lead to stable employment, affecting their ability to plan for personal and familial commitments. Moreover, this unstable situation leaves the workers vulnerable to pressure and political maneuvering, undermining their rights as employees under their current contracts. The need for immediate renewal of these contracts is critical to secure stable employment and improve their working conditions, reflecting broader issues of labor rights and employment stability in the public health sector.
