The Board of Directors of the Union of Daily Newspaper Journalists of the Peloponnese, Epirus and the Islands calls on all colleagues—both members and non-members of the union—to participate in the new 24-hour nationwide strike across all media, declared by POESY (the Panhellenic Federation of Journalists’ Unions) and the Journalists’ Unions, on June 12. The strike includes journalists working in newspapers, magazines, public, municipal, and private radio and television stations. The unions—taking into account the clear message from the profession through the massive participation in recent strike actions demanding collective agreements and decent wages—have jointly decided to carry out two successive 24-hour strikes on 5 June and 12 June 2025. According to the unions, the employers’ associations ignore the rising cost of living that daily erodes real wages, reject collective bargaining, insist on freezing collective agreements for the past 17 years, and maintain the stranglehold of individual contracts, which perpetuate huge wage inequalities.
