Greece Braces for Nationwide Strike Over Controversial Labor Bill
A 24-hour nationwide strike is set to bring Greece to a standstill on Tuesday as workers protest against a controversial labor bill that would allow 13-hour workdays.
This is the second nationwide strike in two weeks, as unions are escalating their fight against the bill, which they argue would abolish the eight-hour workday, dismantle work-life balance, and institutionalize “hyper-exploitation.”
- The strike, organized by the civil servants’ union ADEDY and the Athens Labor Center (EKA), coincides with the parliamentary debate on the proposed legislation.
- The strike will heavily impact Athens’ public transportation network, with metro, tram, and suburban rail services operating only between 9:00 a.m. to facilitate access to protest sites.
- Buses and trolley buses will run from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
