The trade unions representing workers at the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) have announced the suspension of strike actions scheduled for Thursday, July 9, following a meeting with government officials at the presidential palace. The unions, which include EPOPAIH, SIDHKEK, SEPAIK, and SYBAIK, indicated their appreciation for the government's initiative in holding this meeting, which was aimed at addressing issues within the energy sector.
During the meeting, union leaders discussed pressing concerns, including energy costs and the risk of power supply disruptions. In a joint statement, the unions have given the government a 15-day deadline to address their demands, signaling this period as a critical opportunity for dialogue to avert potential power outages. A follow-up meeting has been scheduled for July 22 to evaluate progress on these issues.
This decision to suspend strike plans is intended to facilitate further negotiations and avoid immediate disruptions in electricity supply. Union representatives have emphasized that while the strike actions are currently on hold, not all issues have been resolved, and they will continue to seek solutions in upcoming discussions with government authorities.
