The general 24-hour strike launched by public and private sector umbrella unions ADEDY and GSEE is expected to paralyze Greece on June 10, 2021. The strike will cause disturbances to transport of people and goods.

Ferries and ships will be docked at the ports and trains of Trainose and Proastiakos will be in their depots for 24 hours

Metro, Tram, Urban Train ISAP and trolley buses will not operate throughout the day, as well.

Only buses will be in service form 9 a.m. until 9 p.m.

Protest rally are scheduled to take place in downtown Athens and other cities on Thursday morning.

Also the union of journalists has joined the strike.

Workers in private and public sector oppose the new Labor Law that makes legal 10-hour work per day and unpaid overtime work for the exchange of a day-off.

Wearing masks and carrying banners, protesters started to flock to downtown Athens on Thursday morning, as demonstrations for Labor Day were moved from May 1 (Easter Saturday) to May 6. Main demand of protesters this year is the withdrawal of the new labor bill that will scrap the 8-hour workday as well as the overtime payment.

Public sector union ADEDY, the Labor Center of Athens and the union of the Communist party, PAME, have called for this strike.

Despite the cloudy and rainy weather, thousands of people marched in central Athens on Tuesday morning, participating in the 24-hour general strike declared by the country’s largest labor unions.

Athens buses, trams, and the Metro line 1 (from Piraeus to Kifissia) came to a complete halt beginning at 6 o’clock in the morning.

Private sector labor unions joined the strike action, announced by the civil servants union federation ADEDY and the Athens – Piraeus labour centers, against the provisions of the proposed legislation which the conservative government intends to enact soon.

The bill deals with a series of labor issues, from the introduction of an electronic voting system for members of unions to the reduction of paper-based posters calling for strikes, among many others.

Most unions disagree with a series of other technical and political aspects of the bill, which is expected to come before the House in the next week.

Greece’s public sector unions umbrella ADEDY have called for a general strike on Thursday, October 15, 2020, demanding more protection measures regarding the pandemic, more hiring and descent labor conditions, wages and pensions.

Major unions from the sector of public hospital personnel (POEDIN) and teachers (OLME) have joined the strike, while unions of workers at public transport means will hold work stoppages.

Unionists’ main demands are, among others:

Generous increase in Public Health expenditure and hiring, charge-free Covid-19 tests where necessary and charge-free personal protection means

Protection of vulnerable groups

Mass hiring in Education and up to 15 students per school class

Hiring of cleaners

No decreases in workers’ salaries, abolish of flexible, rent and rotating work, no firing of contract workers

Tax decreases, that is tax-free at €12,000 annual income

Abolishing of the unified property tax. Note: the ENFIA was introduced as a “temporary measure” dictated by the country’s lenders in 2011. It was supposed to be in force for 2 years. Nine years later… it is still in force.

Greek unions have called for a 24-hour strike on Wednesday in protest at the government’s new labor laws that are included in an omnibus bill tabled by the Development and Investment Ministry.

The strike, organized by the civil servants’ union ADEDY, means there will be no service on Wednesday on the Athens metro, ISAP electric railway, Proastiakos suburban railway and the national rail network. Stoppages in public transport will also affect Thessaloniki.

Other trade unions have joined ADEDY, including the Pan-Hellenic Seamen’s Federation (PNO) which called for a 24-hour strike in all ship categories, in the ports of Piraeus, Rafina and Lavrion. Last week, ferries again had remained docked due to a 24-hour strike against the same omnibus bill.
