Less that 24-hours before the planned protest at Limassol’s casino resort, one of the unions has backed out as a response to the labour minister’s “plea to refrain from confrontation.”

In an announcement on Monday, Deok union said it had decided to refrain from the protest planned for Tuesday at 5:30pm outside City of Dreams Mediterranean.

Peo union said it would go ahead with the protest and would not back down until the company gave assurances that union reps would be allowed to access the workplace.

The dispute stems from what Peo and Deok claim to be the company forbidding access to the unions in the workplace for efforts to unionise.
