Greece’s public sector union ADEDY announced on Friday a 24-hour nationwide public-sector strike to take place on Tuesday, December 16, 2025.

The strike is “ against the budget of the New Democracy government,” ADEDY said in the relevant announcement, given the fact that the budget for 2026 is being currently debated in the Parliament and is scheduled to be voted next week.

Some members of the ADEDY unions umbrella such as the teachers have reportedly rejected the strike proposal.

Municipality workers will take part in the strike.

It is still unclear, how the public transport means will operate. KTG will keep you posted.

Note that buses in Athens will launch a work stoppage from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, December 17. according to media reports reason for the work stoppage is the workers’ General Assembly.

It was the 39th Congress of  the Confederation of Civil Servants’ Unions (ADEDY) that decided the strike thus expressing the union’s  full solidarity with the farmers’ protests and the roadblocks farmers have set up across the country.
