On the evening of 11 June, an offensive on the rights of workers and the freedom of trade unions was launched when employers deliberately removed a mobile container providing the provisional headquarters of five trade unions representing workers at the Schistos Industrial Park in Attiki, Greece. The clear intention behind this move was to create an industrial relations ghetto in which collective agreements and regulations regarding safety and health at work would not apply. Thousands of workers immediately came out in protest demanding the reinstatement of their trade unions in the industrial park.

Does the Commission condemn the action taken by the employers, which constitutes a direct attack on the unrestricted freedom of action and expression of trade unions?
