[01] Private sector union GSEE convenes on PPC issue
ANA/MPA---The General Confederation of Workers (GSEE) executive board
will convene on Monday to decide whether it will provide legal and union
coverage to Public Power Corp. (PPC) unions' possible labour action.
According to unionists, GSEE is considering the possibility of local
labour unions calling a series of strikes with different demands every
time, which will also cover the company's workers.
Private sector labour union GSEE demands from the government "take
back the civil mobilisation measure" and refers to the "abuse of the
democratic institutions" and declares that it will "support with all
legal means the struggle and the decision of PPC's unions and workers".
[02] Summer sales to start on July 15
The summer sales period will open on Tuesday 15 July until the end
of August.
During the sales, the shops are obliged to indicate on every piece of
good on sale a dual price, one being the price before the sales (usually
crossed-out) and the other being the applicable price including the sales
discount. It is up to the business' discretion to mention the discount
percentage, although in this case the word discount should accompany the
percentage (e.g. "50% discount"). There are large fines awaiting those
who mention fake discount prices or percentages.
ESEE also called the consumers to refrain from buying goods from illegal
street vendors, "who do not offer quality, guarantees or receipts".
