Civil servant protest over court ruling on axed income

Greece's main civil servants' union, ADEDY, plans to protest outside the Finance Ministry in central Athens after the country's top administrative court rejected their request to reinstate income cuts made during the financial crisis. These cuts included the abolition of the '13th and 14th salaries,' which were bonus payments for public sector workers during holidays. ADEDY called the court's decision 'unacceptable' and urged the conservative government to introduce legislation to restore these payments. The union also aims to demand higher wages and more hiring in the public sector. Private sector workers continue to receive these bonuses, which were eliminated for public employees during the 2010–2018 financial crisis due to austerity measures imposed by international creditors.
