Hellenic Bank mulls taking the gloves off with ETYK as labour action continues

By Stelios Orphanides

As ETYK members continue to abstain from overtime work at Hellenic Bank for a fourth consecutive week, the lender mulls taking its gloves off unless the bank workers union cancels its labour action after the attorney general opined against it, a source said.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
