Critical Hours for Government Hourly Workers
June 22, 2026
The next 24 hours are critical for hourly government workers as they plan a nationwide 24-hour strike if an agreement on the new collective contract is not reached. The previous contract expired in 2024, and workers are demanding pay increases and other benefits. Trade unions warn that they will escalate their actions if their demands are not met. Approximately 9,000 employees are involved, expressing dissatisfaction with their low wages. Unions emphasize that improving salaries and working conditions is essential.
