Panhellenic Seamen's Federation

Greece's major labor unions are set to stage a general strike on Wednesday, protesting the rising cost of living and demanding better wages and collective agreements.

Greece's main labor unions have called for a general strike on Wednesday to protest the rising cost of living and demand better wages and collective agreements.

Ferry passengers should expect ticket prices to rise as of 2025, following the agreement regarding the increase in seafarers' wages by 7% over the next two years. This agreement led to the suspension of the strike by the Panhellenic Seamen's Federation (PNO) on Thursday afternoon.

The union representing Greece's seamen, PNO, has announced a 48-hour strike that will keep ferry boats tied up at port on October 22 and 23.

The nationwide strike, which will affect the transport of passengers and goods to and from the islands, is in demand of collective labor agreements for 2025 in the coastal shipping sector and a 12% wage increase.

The Athens metro will operate from 9.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. on May Day, due to the decision of transport workers to participate in a strike, its operator STASY has said.

Buses and the tram in the capital will begin servicing routes from 9 a.m. but will return to depots by 9 p.m.

Public transportation in Greece, particularly in Athens, will cease on May 1 as unions and associations stage Labor Day strikes.

The strikes, organized by major labor unions, oppose the government's decision to move Labor Day to May 7.

They assert that Labor Day is for strikes, not holidays, emphasizing worker grievances.

The General Confederation of Greek Workers (GSEE) has declared a 24-hour strike scheduled for Wednesday, aiming to promote public urban transportation, collective labor agreements and personnel hirings. The strike is expected to impact public transport services across the country.

Ships and ferries will remain tied up on April 17 at ports throughout Greece following a decision by the Panhellenic Seamen's Federation to join a 24-hour nationwide strike called by private-sector trade union federation GSEE on the same day.

The central demands of the strike are for policies to deal with inflation and to ensure a decent standard of living.

The Panhellenic Seamen's Federation (PNO) announced on Friday 24-hour strike that will keep all ships docked nationwide on September 13 to protest the death of a 36-year old man who was pushed off the loading ramp by crew members of the 'Blue Horizon' ferry.

A 24hr strike that will keep all ships docked nationwide on Monday, May 1, was announced by the Panhellenic Seamen's Federation (PNO) on Monday.

This strike is being held to mark Labor Day (May 1), noted PNO.
