This is the best summary I could come up with:

Strikes called by Greece’s largest labour union on Wednesday halted ferries, disrupted public transport services and left some state-run hospitals running on emergency staffing levels in Athens and elsewhere.

The General Confederation of Greek Labor, GSEE, led the strikes to demand the restoration of collective bargaining rights that were axed more than a decade ago during a severe financial crisis.

However, it crept up to 11% in February, its highest level since August 2023 according to the statistical office of the European Union, Eurostat.

Another protester, Stelios Daskas, who has worked a security officer for 20 years, said he had to take legal action against his employer over non-payment of overtime and weekend penalty rates.

Greece has returned to robust economic growth and an investment-grade sovereign bond rating following a series of international bailouts and a severe recession during a 2010-18 fiscal crisis.

Dimitris Tachmatzidis, the GSEE’s deputy president, said collective bargaining agreements gave workers and employees the right to ask for better wages and working conditions.
