Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis referred to the new collective labor agreement in the food service sector in a video uploaded to his social media accounts.

Holding a cup of coffee, Mitsotakis announces that he has… news for those watching the video who work in food service or have a friend who works in the sector.

“A new collective labor agreement in the food service sector has been signed. What does this mean in simple terms: increases in your wages—we’re talking about increases of over 6% up to 25% in the minimum wage,” the Prime Minister initially says, continuing with the changes brought by the agreement:

“The minimum wage in food service is now set between €930 and €1,100, along with bonuses of up to 10% for seasonal work and up to 15% for tourism-related training.”
