Greece's Parliament is set for a crucial vote today on a bill that will impact both minimum wage earners and public sector employees.

The legislation, introduced by the Ministry of Labor, aims

to integrate the EU directive on adequate minimum wages into Greek law and introduce adjustments to public sector salaries.

After a heated debate that began yesterday, with various political parties expressing their support or opposition, the final decision rests in the hands of Parliament. The ruling New Democracy (ND) party has expressed its support for the bill, while opposition parties like SYRIZA, the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), and Nea Aristera have voiced their opposition.

Other parties, including PASOK, Elliniki Lysi, Niki, Plefsi Eleftherias, and Spartiates, have reserved their positions until today's vote.

This bill has garnered significant attention as it seeks to align Greece with EU standards on fair wages and address long-standing concerns regarding public sector pay.

The outcome of today's vote is expected to have a significant impact on workers across the country and will be closely watched by both labor unions and employers' organizations.
