Greece Braces for Nationwide Strike
A 24-hour nationwide strike is set to bring Greece to a standstill as workers protest against a controversial labor bill.
The bill would allow 13-hour workdays, which unions argue would
abolish the eight-hour workday, dismantle work-life balance, and institutionalize “hyper-exploitation”.
- The strike is organized by the civil servants’ union ADEDY and the Athens Labor Center (EKA).
- It coincides with the parliamentary debate on the proposed legislation.
- Athens’ public transportation network will be heavily impacted, with limited metro, tram, and suburban rail services.
Buses and trolley buses will run from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
