Protests as part of the 24-hour strike of the GSEE have been completed - center of Athens has opened
With a key slogan "we want real raises - we want our Collective Bargaining Agreements back and we want them now", the workers' representatives in their speeches emphasized the need for immediate action to tackle punctuality and to abolish memorandum arrangements that prevent free collective negotiations.
"Together with the unemployed and pensioners, the employees of the private sector once again united their voice of protest against the living crisis experienced by every Greek family" points out the GSEE.
The demonstrators, after finishing the speeches in Klathmonos Square, marched to the Parliament, where they handed in a protest resolution.
The Confederation emphasizes that it will continue its struggle until the just demands of the people it represents are realized.
Vehicular traffic has been restored in the center of Athens
Vehicle traffic in the center of Athens is proceeding normally, as all traffic regulations that were in place since the morning were lifted, due to the protest gatherings that took place in the context of the 24-hour nationwide strike declared by the GSEE.
Stopped metro, electric, tram
Attica will be without metro, electric and tram, as the workers decided to participate in the 24-hour strike of the GSEE.
The STASY unions in their announcement request a salary increase, beyond the minimum, to protect the purchasing power of households with low and medium incomes, direct recruitment of staff to cover the organization's permanent needs and immediate reinstatement of the National General Collective Labor Agreement to power
Work stations on buses, trolleybuses
With work stoppages, bus and trolley workers are participating in the 24-hour strike of the GSEE.
According to the OASA Workers' Union and the ILPAP Workers' Union, city buses and trolleys will run from 09:00 to 21:00 due to work stoppages (from the start of the shift to 09:00 and from 21: 00 until the end of the shift).
The restoration of the operation of the vehicles will begin gradually after the end of the work stoppage and, accordingly, their progressive withdrawal for the depots will begin.
The workers are demanding public, safe, modern transport, a collective labor agreement and staff recruitment, signing of a collective bargaining agreement.
Buses will run normally on the OASA lines that have been taken over by KTEL.
Work stop in taxis
