Athens Labour Centre calls 7 November gathering outside Finance Ministry
Unions are called to gather at 11:00 on Saturday. The decision, announced on 3 November, forms part of preparations for the Athens-wide strike on 25 November.
The Athens Labour Centre’s executive committee has decided to hold a gathering outside the Finance Ministry on Saturday, 7 November 2026, at 11:00. Its official call to member unions is dated 3 November and is corroborated by ERT’s morning report on 5 November.
What the unions are seeking
The centre seeks a minimum wage determined through collective bargaining, recognition of 2012–2023 in seniority increments, and restoration of 13th and 14th salary and pension payments. Its demands also include tax relief, measures addressing essential-goods prices and housing protection.
These are trade-union demands, rather than announced government measures or new benefits already in force.
The link to 25 November
The statement places the gathering within preparations for an Athens-wide general strike on Wednesday, 25 November. It confirms the centre’s plans, without establishing a universal work stoppage or specific changes to transport timetables.
