Greek journalists strike for better pay and rights, amid broader protests over inflation and housing.

Greek journalist unions staged a 24-hour strike on Tuesday, halting media operations to demand better wages and restored collective bargaining rights lost during the 2010-2018 financial crisis and bailouts. The strike precedes a nationwide general strike on Wednesday, criticizing the government for neglecting rising inflation and housing issues, despite economic growth and investment grade status. Greece still holds the EU's highest debt-to-GDP ratio.
