The mass media are also on strike

By a joint decision of POESY, POSPERT, POEPTYM and ETPTA, a strike is announced for all journalists, technicians and administrators in all Mass Media from 5 am on April 16 to 5 am on April 17, 2024.

For April 17, a general strike has been declared by the GSEE.

In an announcement by the trade union bodies it is noted: “The Federations have noted for the umpteenth time, the refusal of employers to proceed with the drafting of Collective Labor Agreements in the private sector, which has led to workers being paid meager wages, which are not sufficient to cover the their basic family and personal needs, the increasing precision, which wipes out family incomes.

At the same time, not only media workers, but the whole of Greek society, we are experiencing a series of consecutive explosive increases, which create a suffocating situation for families who see their incomes and resources practically annihilated.

We protest the continued and ever-increasing pressure on journalism and journalists, and ultimately on reliable and free information, which is a cornerstone of democratic functioning.”
