"Cartel Alfa" and affiliated unions representing over 375,000 public sector employees in education, research, local public and central administration, healthcare and the police force are urging the government not to adopt the emergency decree that lowers the wages of public sector employees, by eliminating a series of bonuses.

Unionists will submit a protest-document at the Labor Ministry, headquarters of the governing coalition parties and prefects’ offices and will meet for talks with government representatives. Depending on the outcome of these talks, they will decide Tuesday on further protests.
