ATA Framework Clash: Government at the Forefront

The government's proposal for an agreement framework on the Automatic Cost of Living Adjustment (ATA) has sparked reactions. Social partners are preparing for negotiations, with trade unions redefining their demands and employers expressing objections to the cost.

The opinion of Achilleas Aimilianidis, requested by employers, argues that the proposal may be unconstitutional. The government is called upon to make a decision, which will bear its sole responsibility, with potential political costs or benefits.

If the government insists, it should promote the ATA framework through legislative regulation or decree, making the regulation binding on all. The final decision on maintaining, strengthening, or abolishing the ATA lies in the hands of the government.
