Ferries and ships will remain docked at Greek ports due to a 48-hour nationwide strike announced by the Panhellenic Seamen’s Federation. The strike will take place on October 22-23, 2024.
The union demands the signing of collective labor agreements for 2025 in the coastal shipping sector, with a 12% wage increase.
A meeting took place on Wednesday between the management of the Association of Passenger Shipping Companies and the Panhellenic Seamen’s Federation to discuss the issue.
“Unfortunately, the meeting collapsed entirely due to the employer’s intransigent stance. In response to our demand for a 12% increase, they countered with a 3% raise for 2025. They also refused to address several other issues,” the union stated in an announcement.
Here we go again! 🙄
