Public workers with the Attica region staged a four-hour strike (from 10 am until 2 pm) called by trade union Adedy, one of the country's main unions representing the public sector, against the government's decision to ban a demonstration called on 8 January in Athens. The trade union also invited workers to take part in the protest of employees of the national healthcare service (Eopyy), who decided to prolong a strike until February 7 against government health policies.
