Taxi Strike Looms Nationwide in Greece

Published January 12, 2026, 08:28

Taxi drivers in Greece are announcing a 48-hour strike, starting tomorrow, Tuesday, January 13th. The strike is a result of the industry's reaction to the mandatory implementation of electric taxis from January 1st, 2026. Drivers are considering repeated 48-hour strikes, and the Panhellenic Taxi Federation is expected to discuss its participation, potentially giving the mobilizations a nationwide dimension. According to the president of SATA, the mobilizations are not about trade union demands, but about preserving their jobs and the social contribution they provide through public transport.
