Private and public sector unions in Greece are preparing nationwide strikes in response to the ongoing high prices and the high cost of living in general, while salaries and pensions stagnate.
The General Confederation of Greek Workers (GSEE) and the Confederation of Public Servants (ADEDY) have announced plans for nationwide strikes in November in response to ongoing economic challenges.
GSEE is considering a 24-hour strike to address issues such as inflation, the housing crisis and collective labor agreements, which it argues are burdening the wage-earning population. The exact date for this strike will be determined in a forthcoming plenary session of its Board of Directors.
Meanwhile, ADEDY has decided to proceed with a 24-hour strike on Wednesday, November 13. The organization has criticized the government’s economic policies, accusing them of exacerbating poverty and hardship for workers.
24 hour strike….that will do a lot of good, won’ it? Why do they bother? Government will laugh their heads off !
