Increasing Number of Strikes in Cyprus: Preparing for the General Strike

September 8, 2025

The labor environment in Cyprus has become more challenging, with increasing labor disputes and more strikes taking place. A new general strike is expected on September 11, as negotiations for the Automatic Indexation have stalled. Workers from various sectors, including public and semi-public organizations, will participate in the strike. The last general strike occurred in January 2023, marking significant participation. Cyprus has experienced similar strikes in the past, the most notable being in 1944.
