The Executive Committee of ADEDY, following yesterday’s decision of the General Confederation of Workers of Greece (GSEE), finalizes the date of the 24-hour strike mobilization that it has already decided on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, in order for the strike to be general and have pan-labor – full-service features.
As pointed out in a relevant announcement, the General Council of October 10 will discuss all measures to organize and support the strike.
The announcement of the GSEE on the strike on November 20
Dealing with punctuality, the increased prices of rents and the housing market, as well as the restoration of the Collective Labor Law, were at the center of today’s Plenary meeting of the GSEE.
The Confederation, given the fact that the Government is not taking any substantial measures to address these critical issues plaguing the workers in the private sector but instead is implementing measures that are exacerbating their problems, decided:
- the implementation of a 24-hour General Strike for Wednesday, November 20, 2024
- the implementation of an information campaign, which will begin immediately in all regions of the country, with particular emphasis on Athens and Thessaloniki, with the aim of massive and unifying participation in the 24-hour General Strike.
The Government is unable to implement policies that strengthen the purchasing power of employees, which has decreased by 8% since 2019. The bonus policy and passes unfortunately do not solve the problems. Immediate measures are needed to deal with the oligopolistic structure of the market and the cartels, the restructuring of labor relations and the Collective Labor Law as well as the implementation of social housing programs with the reserve of 1.5 billion from the former Labor Home.
These measures meet the real needs of workers in the private sector and we will fight for the implementation of these measures.
October 10 strike – Who will lift the handbrake?
The Union of Engine Drivers will proceed with a series of mobilizations in October with a view to ensuring rail traffic and the operation of basic safety systems. Thus, the Council of the Panhellenic Union of Traction Personnel (PEPE) during the meeting it held on Saturday (14/09) decided the program of the mobilizations, which is as follows:
October 10, 2024: 24-hour strike.
A new 24-hour strike is also expected on a date that PEPE will propose to be decided jointly by the Hellenic Train Employee Unions.
