A new provocative wealth redistribution at the expense of the working class.
The big fraud favours the financial elites, as the crisis concerns the banks and the state that funds them with the taxpayers' money. They are rapidly impoverishing the society by reducing the income and rising the cost of living.
On the pretext of the supposed increase in competitiveness of the export businesses, they reduce the income of all employees to the equivalent of those in China. Thus, the financial elites retain and even increase their profits.
The thought of reducing their outrageous profits in order to become competitive does not cross the minds of the the big financial mobs (cartels) of all sectors of the economy. Instead, through the regime of their political puppets that are still in control of the country, they impose an economic strangulation on the workers and citizens.
They are rapidly impoverishing the society by reducing the income and rising the cost of living.

Yesterday those minimal working rights that had been left in the private sector were buried for good. This was achieved through the back door and with a phrase that has probably gone unnoticed. We've learned that the Ministry of Employment will relax the 'Special Business Agreements'.
A week ago Mr. Koutroumanis expressed his disagreement with the demands of the troika regarding the liberalisation of 'Business Agreements'. However, it is now obvious that the troika's ultimatum has worked. So, for example, the establishment of business associations is rushed through in order to be completed in 2 -instead of 6 originally- months.
In reality, what is being rushed through is virtually the abolition of Collective Labour Agreements. According to the troika, these hinder the competitiveness of the businesses, as they keep the salaries high!
As troika's representatives noted during their recent visit at the Ministry of Employment, just 10 Business Agreements were signed in 2010. Therefore they mention that, since the government cannot implement this regulation, what's left to do now is to abolish the Collective Labour Agreements altogether.
All these are happening at a time when full-time employees have been reduced by 23.23%, while part-time contracts have increased by 3.84% and bank workers by 6.52%.
Just one number is enough to demonstrate the future of the private sector. 26,253 employment contracts have been changed to different types of flexible contracts. However, there still exists the minimum salary safety net that the Collective Labour Agreements provide. How much further will the daily wages and the minimum salaries be reduced if the Collective Labour Agreements are abolished?
To make a long story short, we are going back to similar working conditions as those of the Middle Ages, as the total abolition of even the minimum salary regulations is put forward.
