The Committee refers to its comments under the Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98), with regard to the observations communicated by the Greek General Confederation of Labour (GSEE) with the support of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) on the impact of the measures introduced in the framework of the mechanism to support the Greek economy.

Further to the issues raised under the Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100), the Committee notes that GSEE is particularly concerned at the effect of the austerity measures on the situation of workers with family responsibilities, such as the increasing burden of family responsibilities on women due to gender stereotypes and as a result of uneven sharing between men and women of child and family care responsibilities. With respect to Act No. 3863/2010 on the “New Social Security System and relevant provisions”, the GSEE raises concerns at the drastic increase in the retirement age of women, and particularly working mothers of minors, which should be assessed against the effect of the other measures taken, as well as against the inadequate and inefficient public social care support for mothers and working parents.

The Committee will examine the issues raised by the GSEE and the Government’s response thereto, together with the Government’s next report which is due in 2011. The latter should also address the issues raised in its previous observation and direct request of 2007.
