Massive Greek Protests and Strikes Over Labour Law Reforms

Thousands of Greek public sector workers, including teachers, doctors, and transport staff, rallied in Athens during a strike against planned labor law changes by the conservative government. The government claims the reforms will combat undeclared work and boost employment, but labor unions and the opposition argue that it undermines workers' rights and creates harsh conditions. The strike, organized by Greece's largest public sector union, ADEDY, is the first since the government's re-election. Trains, buses, and schools were affected, and hospitals operated with emergency staffing. The proposed changes, including allowing full-time employees to have a part-time second job and implementing a six-day working week, are expected to be passed this week.
