Greece - Hospitality workers protest against neo-liberal reforms - August 31, 2017

Hotel and restaurant employees walked off work on 20 July 2017 to protest against the government’s labour reforms. Hundreds of workers in the tourism sector gathered in central Athens as part of a strike against reforms that will allow ‘flexible’ forms of work and a lower minimum wage: the workers say that the reform will weaken collective agreements that protect workers. Union officials complained that employers in large hotels are forcing workers to sign contracts with extremely low wages and exhausting working hours.
