Lately, workers in the company "Teleperformance" have been at the
forefront of labor mobilizations, resisting both the intensification of
state and capitalist aggression against the social base and workforce,
and against the employer's arbitrariness, vindictiveness, and the
oppressive conditions resembling a modern-day work camp. Through their
struggles, including participation in general and sectoral strikes, they
demand the signing of collective agreements, wage increases, and the
abolition of the special purpose visa for non-EU migrant workers. On
Monday, 23 December, Teleperfomance workers will once again be on
strike, denouncing the employers' campaign of terror, which intensified
after the last 48-hour strike on November 19 and 20, 2024.
Teleperformance has adopted a particularly aggressive stance by refusing
to renew the contracts of workers involved in union activities,
including members of the union's board, leaving them unemployed since
early 2025. At the same time, the company leverages non-renewal of
contracts as a means of pressuring other employees by reducing the
duration of new contracts, either in retaliation for participating in
strikes or to delay the signing of open-ended contracts. Amid this
climate of intimidation, the company has also sent an out-of-court
letter to the union. It is obvious that Teleperformance, in the face of
the dynamic action of the union and the recent mobilizations, seeks to
suppress the collective demands of the workers through pressure and fear.
Teleperformance Greece is one of the largest service companies in
Greece, a member of a French multinational group with operations in 80
countries and 330,000 employees worldwide. It collaborates with major
multinational companies such as Microsoft, Apple, Volkswagen, Facebook,
Canon, Netflix, among others. Exploiting employer- friendly legislation,
low wage levels, and a special visa regime for third-country nationals,
the company has established itself as a management hub for Southern
Europe and the Middle-East, employing over 12,000 people in Greece..
Working conditions are defined by an unrelenting flow of calls, a
systematic increase in productivity targets, daily performance reviews,
constant redundancies, delays in collective bargaining, and low wages,
creating a highly stressful environment for employees.
These issues are compounded by a state apparatus that remains loyal to
the neoliberal model established in Greece during the memorandum years,
which continues to escalate the cost of living. Meanwhile, uninsured and
precarious work, flexible working hours, the intensification of work,
privatization, and the commodification of basic needs, highlight the
capitalist drive to deepen class inequalities.es and devalue lives.
Skyrocketing rents have left much of the lower classes struggling to
meet basic needs such as housing, and have condemned others to
stagnation through eviction from their homes. Workplace "accidents", the
intensification of work, wage reductions, extended working hours, and
deteriorating working conditions describe the harsh labor reality that
is imposed on us every day, aiming at impoverishing our lives. By
October 2024 over 100 labor- related fatalities had occurred, grim
evidence of the savage class exploitation within the sweatshops of wage
slavery.
Under these conditions, the state capitalist system is accelerating its
restructuring, targeting every facet of social life, devaluing essential
social needs - work, health, education, housing, and transport. This
comprehensive assault on the social base manifests in a constant
increase in the prices of basic goods such as fuel, electricity,
heating, bread, and oil. The auctioning of primary residences further
exacerbates the already unbearable conditions of life and survival of
the social base. This situation amounts to a complete degradation of
human life, sacrificed on the altar of profit, as evidenced by the
widespread strategy of privatization permeating every aspect of social
reality.
As anarchists and as workers, we stand in solidarity with the just
struggle of the workers in the call centres against labor exploitation,
the precariousness regime, and employer terrorism. Against the state and
capitalist restructurings of exclusion, subjugation, and repression, the
devaluation of our lives, impoverishment, and oppression, against states
and bosses that oppress our lives to intensify social and class
struggles. In the face of the state and capitalist horrors, only through
organizing in workplaces, in workers' initiatives, through the
establishment of enterprise councils and participation in sectoral
unions, can we all stand together on the road and in the struggles of
social resistance and class solidarity. The only perspective for a
society of equality, solidarity, and freedom, without exploitation and
oppression, lies in our own hands, in the struggle for social and class
emancipation, for anarchy and libertarian communism.
