In Greece, severe restrictions in air traffic are to be expected on Wednesday and Thursday, because two unions are calling on air traffic control employees to go on strike. On November 25, 2020, members of the Greek Air Traffic Controllers Association will be invited to work stoppages from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

This is followed by the union members of the Union of Electronic Engineers for Air Traffic Safety from 12:00 to 18:00. Both employee representatives have announced a 26-hour joint strike for November 2020, 24. The unions are protesting against plans by the government that provide for air traffic control to be outsourced to an independent authority. It is expected that wages will fall and working conditions will deteriorate.
