The union will meet again on Friday, April 13, with the deputy minister. PEYFA had declared the work stoppage as a protest for a number of demands, including the hiring of 200 permanent guards in the sector and the payment of a benefit. The union’s decision to hold the work stoppage had sparked criticism from the Tourism Minister Elena Kountoura and tourism professionals.
