The union of public hospital workers POEDIN demands extension of work contracts for some 2,000 temporary personnel whose contracts expire between October and December.

But the times where pandemic front line workers were receiving gratitude clapping are over. Now it’s apparently time for tear gas and batons by order of the political leadership of the country.

As police goes against them, protesters shout “Shame! Disgrace!” and some also sends law enforcement officers “to hell.”

Among those who felt the hardness of a police shield was also the union president Michalis Giannakos. ■
