ATΑ Agreement: Compromise Reached After Discussions

November 14, 2025

Social partners have signed a preliminary agreement regarding the ATΑ after months of discussions. The compromise satisfies both employers and unions partially, without fully meeting the government's expectations. The new agreement outlines the gradual restoration of the Cost of Living Allowance and its connection to the National Minimum Wage. The final ratifications from social partners are expected in the coming days. The agreement allows for the inclusion of 55,000 low-wage workers, providing some benefits.
