Limassol port workers in impromptu strike

Limassol port workers went on an impromptu two-hour strike on Wednesday, with unions citing that there has been no change in working conditions despite four-month long efforts to reach an agreement.

The strike lasted from 3pm until 5pm, when workers from P&O Maritime Cyprus stopped working, saying that their working conditions are difficult, and that they work long hours and shifts.

According to CNA, the strike ended when the labour ministry mediated with the unions and decided to find an interim solution to their problems next Monday.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
