The «penthouses» of the the non-profitable DEKO

For more than a year now the country has been on the verge of catastrophe, with minor pensioners and simple people living in poverty, looking at their small income shrinking even more; however – until last September at least – their sacrifices were the same or bigger than those of the DEKO «penthouses» and other improbable, (supposedly) charitable bodies, organizations and constitutions.

For example, according to the data from the ministry of Finance, in 9 months (Jan. – Sept. 2010) 68 employees in HEPO shared 2,6mil euros - that is, 38.446 gross (excluding contributions and various other benefits provided for public servants).

This means that each month the taxpayer paid 4.271 euros for each of these employees who "toil" everyday so that our country, a model of competitiveness, can have the exports it has now. Even after the cuts in DEKO, none of them costs less than 1.500 euro per month, 1 in 3 gets 2.785 gross (x14), 47% costs 2.785-3500 gross (x14) and 13 executives (1 in 5) make more than 4.000 per month.

Based on the payrolls for the nine months however, at such times and despite all sorts of cuts, 32.253 euro gross were received by the workers at the port of Igoumenitsa (3.580 per month), 15.805 by the Hellenic Festival (1.750 gross per month) and 29.474 in ELOT (3.270).
 
ISAP is the champion

And the champion in transportation is ISAP, with total earnings of 35.111 euro (3.900 gross per month), as well as DEPANOM (state hospital constructor) with 33.104 euro, while Hippodrome employees received wages in the amount of 32.111 euro (3.567).

And these wages continue to be paid out when the DEKO are sinking in theirdeficits. 18 out of the 52 non-profitable DEKO are:

* ETHEL, 161m-euro deficit and average wage of 24.479 euro
* TRAINOSE with 140m-euro deficit and average wage of 31.198 euro
* Hellenic Defensive Systems with 88m of deficit and average wage at 24.946 euro
* ISAP with a deficit of 50,3m euros and wages at 35.111 euro
* EAB with a deficit of 46m and wages at 29.977 euro
* ILPAP with a deficit of 35.7m and wages at 23.577 euro
