Allegations of irregularities in the hiring process of foreign workers
February 4, 2026
Trade unions are warning of irregularities in the labor market due to companies creating subsidiaries to hire foreign workers from third countries. This practice leads to deregulation of the labor market and raises serious concerns. The Secretary General of SEK, Andreas Matsas, emphasized the need for the competent authorities to investigate this issue. He also highlighted the necessity for dialogue with the President to address the challenges faced by unions. SEK is planning a conference to discuss these issues and other labor challenges.
