Research – alarm of GSEBEE records so gloomy predictions about the future of SMEs, and workers employed in them.
REPORTAGE: Vaso Kyriazi
The research, besides the unfavorable position are tradesmen and traders, record the growing transportation charges by companies to their employees through continuous flexible labor relations and the clipping of earnings. Two in ten companies have already reduced working hours and wages of their staff, while an additional three in ten plan to do the same next time.
The nightmarish predictions made in research exude sheer pessimism which now has impregnated the market two years after the collapse of demand, tough fiscal measures and successive bankruptcies.
Furthermore because of the crisis for each hiring in the private sector represent seven dismissals, as based on research about 20.4% of firms lowered employment during the first 6 months compared to only 3.1% made recruitment.
Because in fact most companies have reached a level number of employees within the limits of their operating capacities, now turning with greater intensity in the solution of flexibilisation of working conditions, such as loss of pay and reduction of working time.
Three in ten plan to further reduce wages and working hours of employees by the end of the year. Of these, most are craft enterprises (36.3%) and small companies with between 5-9 people.
Serious problem for the sustainability of SMEs is still limited liquidity combined with the continued decline in turnover (-30% in the first 6 months). 40% of companies say they face problems in the timely payment of wages of their employees, while 1 in 3 companies have “fez” IKA, OAEE, public enterprises and public funds and suppliers.
Bomb for small form and bounced checks, bad checks as holding business and not have the seal approaching the number of those who have already “burst” at a ratio of 40-60%.

“We kill …”
“For some time the whole productive fabric business accepts suffocating pressure to be shrinking business in a concerted effort of all our extermination. In this effort played an important role and exerted government policies, the privileges granted them, and with the financial support given to them to enforce the rules of globalization through the modular outlets are polymorphic sites. Within such an environment of a capitalist system this inequality expands rapidly, creating increasingly larger problems of everyday life. When the productive fabric of our country is shrinking dramatically, then large supply imbalances created and demand and the world of the capitalist mechanism tries to exploit all service structures provide each state with a view to manipulate both the production process but reaches the exploitation of workers’ notes in TACHYDROMOS Mr. Kogias.
The secretary of OEVEM also points out that despite unemployment, young people do not even thought of getting into the business process, since the state itself takes care not to combine it either with financial incentives and without substantial support.
“When there is no coordinated exit planning crisis or job opportunity planning for young people or planning for hatching young entrepreneurs, when a society is not structured on the basis of perspective and development, then it is certain that more and more companies will put padlocks ever and more young people are in despair, and of course will pass on the landing depreciation and persistent unemployment. When the society of young people is not structured to increase the production process and employment, when the prospect is not designed to tomorrow, when the state uses enterprise only as donors of economic policy, when every government takes measures only tax collection and not even counted nor their operational needs, then these companies are difficult to sustain the pace of globalization and of course our young people do not even thought to get involved with the process computer business, “says Mr. Kogias.
Proposed measures
According to Mr. Kogias “we must understand that we all have an interest to join in the effort to support the Greek products to prevent to grow another unemployment. We need the state to make significant intervention to be safe conditions for recovery. One of the big problems of unemployment was and is rampant illegal trading, where the state is unable to control the large rise in illegal trade, when there are no rules immigrant turnout massive when no protective business support umbrella, then how can our young people expect sites to employment. It is true that both the competition and the illegal trading are two of the biggest obstacles posed by globalization to the working environment of young people. The OEVEM proposes no substantial unemployment program. Also be given financial incentives to all companies in order to enable jobs to be full employment with stable work for everyone. It considers moreover that it should be removed every frame that allows the implementation of flexible forms of employment and counter-conversion of temporary contracts into indefinite, fixation contract but also to subsidize unemployed people without any proupothesi.Telos calls for an increase in the unemployment benefit 80% of the minimum wage for the duration of unemployment and the freezing of the unemployed loans for as long as you are unemployed.
