Instructions for the General Strike on 1/10

INSTRUCTIONS September 28, 2025

With the official declaration of the 24-hour strike by Labor Centers and Federations across the country, as well as by the GSEE (General Confederation of Greek Workers) – in which the Workers’ Union in Webhelp (Concentrix) participates – we are all fully covered to go on strike on Wednesday, October 1, from 00:00 of the same day until 00:00 the next day, as it constitutes a legally justified absence under the law.

There is no need to declare a day off or use paid leave, as Law 1264/82 protects all workers, and any suggestion to do so is illegal.

Withdraw the new anti-labor bill introducing the 13-hour workday and flexible schedules!

EVERYONE TO THE STRIKE – WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1 – 10:30 AM, PROPYLAEA

Strike Email Template

Subject: Participation in the 24-hour nationwide strike on October 1st

Dear [Supervisor’s Name],

I will be participating in the 24-hour nationwide strike on Wednesday, October 1st, declared by the GSEE, the Labor Centers, and the Federations, and supported by the Webhelp (Concentrix) Workers’ Union.

Participation in the strike constitutes a legally justified absence that applies to all employees and our company, according to Law 1264/82.

I am taking part to support the unions’ call to stop the monstrous bill introducing the 13-hour workday and flexible schedules.
We demand the signing of a Collective Labor Agreement (CLA) with rights and gains for all, a 7-hour workday, 5-day workweek, 35-hour week, salary increases that meet today’s living needs, and the immediate implementation of all necessary health and safety measures.

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,
[First and Last Name]
