Piraeus Labor Center

Workers at the Perama Ship Repair Zone, situated northwest of the Piraeus port, have initiated a fresh 24-hour strike on Wednesday in response to a fatal accident that took place on Tuesday. As part of their protest, employees will gather outside the ISAP electric railway station in Piraeus at 10 a.m., while the Piraeus Labor Center has organized a rally at Korai Square in Piraeus at 7 p.m.

Ministry officials and representatives of shipyard workers have met and agreed on increased safety measures at shipyards during the summer, following a fatal accident on Monday.

A 47-year-old crane operator died and two others were injured in the accident, which took place during repair work on a ship.

A handful of unionists decided to block the handling of shipping containers in Piraeus on Fdriay, seemingly in an effort to expand the Communist Party's appeal in the area.

The ENEDEP union of container handling employees in Piraeus called a strike that was deemed illegal, before the Piraeus Labor Center also called a strike, which was also deemed illegal by courts late on Friday.

Employees at Piers II and II of Piraeus' Container Terminal (PCT) returned to work on Friday afternoon, as the 24-hour strike called by the Piraeus Labor Center was found illegal by a local court earlier in the day.

The court ruling came after an injunction filed by DPORT, the company that manages staffing for PCT, a subsidiary of China's Cosco.
