Snam-Fluxys-Enagas, the three-member consortium that acquired control of Greek gas grid operator DESFA approximately one year ago, is close to finalizing a collective labor agreement with the operator’s union group.

The operator’s administration intends to soon start an appraisal process for sub-contracted workers who have offered their services to DESFA for years but have been kept off the company payroll.

The administration will seek to establish direct labor ties with all staff members organically linked to the operator. An estimated 350 workers belong to this category.
