Trikala: 24-Hour Strike and Rally for Victims of Factory Accident

The Trikala Labor Center has decided to hold a 24-hour strike and rally in Riga Feraio Square, as a strong protest against the employer's crime that led to the death of four workers and the disappearance of another at the 'VIOLANTA' factory. The strike is being held to condemn the lack of safety measures in the company, despite repeated interventions by the Labor Center. In its announcement, the Labor Center emphasizes the need to investigate the causes of the accident, assign responsibility and protect workers, so that no more workers mourn. The tragedy has caused intense emotion and anger in the local community.
