State broadcaster ERT
The refusal of the Troika to deduct from the number of redundancies the number of employees laid off from the state broadcaster ERT who however have been re-appointed is further complicating the work of the government.
The Troika has requested monthly monitoring of mobility and redundancy, asking for details from the Ministries of Finance and Administrative Reform. The lender’s representatives have also requested the plans, on a quarterly basis, for the cuts of 11,000 employees in 2014.
The list of 12,500 employees
At tomorrow's meeting, the representatives will expect to receive the list of names of 12,500 civil servants who will have to be included in the so-called labour reserve, which should have been prepared in September. They will also expect to obtain the preliminary list of another 12,500 employees who will have to be included in the mobility programme by the end of December 2013. 4,000 employees of that group will have to be cut from the public sector in 2013 and another 11,000 in 2014.
