Kition tells govt to , ‘respect obligations’ to port workers
Port operator Kition Ocean Holdings hopes the government does not deviate from its obligations to the workers at the Larnaca port. The government terminated the agreement and ordered Kition to vacate the premises immediately, causing disturbance to the workers. The law stipulates that when ownership of a business is transferred, employees are automatically transferred to the new entity and their rights are also automatically transferred. The government has given assurances that the workers will not be made victims and that a formula will be found to continue their work, but the law mandates that the transfer of employment is automatic and must include all employees.
