The Future of Hourly Workers: Demands and Protests
June 25, 2026
Hourly workers are planning further protests if the government does not initiate dialogue by mid-July. They already staged a strike to demand salary increases, emphasizing the importance of support from unions. The Minister of Finance noted that their demands exceed 50 million euros and cannot be met. Many are protesting the unfair treatment they face compared to other public employees. Unions assert that hourly workers are not beggars and demand fair compensation.
