In Athens, Greek workers marched for pay raises nearing European averages and expressed solidarity with Gaza. The strike, involving transport workers, halted port operations and disrupted metro services. Protesters called for compensation for wage cuts made during austerity measures. Despite Greece’s economic growth, workers argue that recent wage increases are insufficient to offset past losses. The demonstration coincided with Labour Day and highlighted grievances over living expenses and stagnant wages, as the government unveiled plans for performance-based bonuses.
