Troika demands dismissal of 25 000 civil servants in Greece

Goal is to reduce 150,000 civil servants by the end of 2015. The heads of mission of the troika (European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund) demanded on Monday the Greek government a detailed plan for the reduction of 25,000 public sector jobs by the end of the year.

According to local media, citing sources in the ministry of administrative reform, this was the condition imposed by international lenders for granting a new installment loan negotiated with Athens, valued at 2,800 million euros.

The same sources reported, quoted by Efe, the ministry intends to make these public officials in a "labor reserve", whereby workers are removed from their posts with 60% of base salary, definitely being fired if they fail within a year placement in another government agency.

Ministerial sources told EU partners that so far has been achieved a reduction of 75,000 jobs through this and other measures of gender, without the need for redundancies.

The heads of the coalition government also expect the goal to cut 150,000 government employees by the end of 2015 - as specified in the second memo signed by Athens with the troika - will be met without new redundancies.

However, several lower courts have spoken in favor of several employees who sued the state for being sent to the 'reserve labor' and who eventually recover their jobs, despite the state have resorted to all decisions.

Several officials of the government, including Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras pledged in recent days that they will not occur more redundancies in the civil service, which was also applied a drastic pay cut since the beginning of the first "bailout program" in 2010.
