The strikes in Greece, organized by unions, target a labor reform proposed by the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, which allows employees to work up to 13 hours a day under exceptional conditions. The unions argue that this measure would affect workers' health and introduce "modern slavery." Although the government argues that the reform offers more flexibility, concerns about low wages and excessive working hours persist, in the context of a fragile economy.
