Strikes organized by Greece's largest labor union, the General Confederation of Greek Labor (GSEE), have caused disruptions in ferry services and public transport in Athens and other areas. The strikes were called to demand the reinstatement of collective bargaining rights that were removed over a decade ago during a severe financial crisis.
Protesters gathered in central Athens to participate in a planned demonstration as part of the 24-hour strikes. The impact of the strikes was felt as ferries remained docked at ports and various public services were disrupted, leading to some state-run hospitals operating with emergency staffing levels.
