Description:

As per reports, a workers’ strike commenced at Allou Fun Park, one of the largest amusement parks in Attica, initiated in protest against recent layoffs and delays in wage payments on Saturday (10 May). Employees demanded the revocation of dismissals and assurance of full payment of accrued wages.

• The strike garnered widespread support from the Piraeus Labor Center and numerous unions across Attica. Public statements from union representatives emphasised worker dissatisfaction and the determination to continue mobilizations until their demands are met.
• A major rally was scheduled for 1500 hours (local time) on Saturday (10 May) at the park’s main gate, with a high turnout from supporting unions and associations.
