Electricity Authority Employees Stage Work Stoppage

Employees of the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) have announced a three-hour work stoppage today, from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM, protesting the deteriorating situation in the electricity sector. Trade unions accuse the government of a lack of strategic planning and inaction, leading to negative consequences for consumers and the economy. They point out that efforts to resolve the EAC's problems have not yielded results, while government proposals are characterized as unfounded and increase the cost of electricity. EAC employees are calling for the implementation of substantial initiatives to ensure electricity adequacy, supply security, and consumer support.
