Media professionals, led by POESY, halted work in solidarity with colleagues left unpaid for months, while healthcare unions ADEDY and PDEDN demanded fair wages, permanent contracts, and full staffing in public hospitals. A demonstration was held in Athens outside media offices, highlighting the growing labour unrest in Greece.
Greece is experiencing a wave of nationwide strikes this week as workers across various sectors mobilise for better wages and working conditions.
