Greek workers: We refuse to become slaves in the 21st century!

On 14 October 2025, the day that parliament debated on the anti-labour bill providing for 13-hour workdays, a new 24-hour general strike took place in Greece, for the second time in 15 days.

The strike was called by 38 Labour Centres, which are local trade union associations, including those in the largest Greek cities (Athens, Thessaloniki, Piraeus, Patras, etc), as well as 18 sectoral trade union federations. 

 

Greek workers rise up against government's 13-hour workday bill: “Workers are people, not machines”

On 8 September, thousands of workers, trade unions and mass organizations responded to the call of the All Workers’ Militant Front (PAME) and demonstrated in Athens. They demanded that the government withdraw the bill on 13-hour working day and generalized flexibility, and announced their decision to respond to the government’s anti-labour plans with a general strike at the end of September.
