Unions Plan Nationwide Greece Strike on Rail Crash Anniversary

Transportation and food workers lead Saturday action; Montreal transit union halts fifth walkout for March conciliation after limited strikes

Greek labor unions plan a nationwide strike on Saturday, timed to the third anniversary of a head-on train collision that killed 57 people. Transportation and food workers are at the forefront of the action, and last year strikes and rallies on the same date were the biggest in five decades.

In Canada, a fifth strike by Montreal’s STM maintenance workers, who have held four limited walkouts since June 2025, is averted after the transit agency and the CSN-affiliated union jointly request conciliation from the Quebec Labour Ministry, with talks set for the second week of March. In South Africa, professional, administrative and support staff at the University of Cape Town strike for a 7% wage increase after talks collapsed, as management offers 3.5% and the vice-chancellor agrees to meet unions within 48 hours. In India and Tanzania, more than 2,000 L&T contract workers protest at AM/NS India’s Hajira plant over pay and conditions, while over 250 Kibena Tea Limited employees in Njombe strike over unpaid wages and social security contributions. Across regions, unions pursue strikes, protests and conciliation over pay and working conditions.

Key Insight

Transport unions in Europe and North America pursue parallel tactics this week, with a nationwide strike planned in Greece and a fifth walkout averted in Montreal through conciliation.
