- lifeguard strike — Lifeguard coverage at Cyprus beaches will be absent on Wednesday due to a 24-hour strike by hourly-paid government workers, as announced by the interior ministry on Tuesday.
- This strike highlights ongoing tensions between government workers and their employers, as unions advocate for improved working conditions and fair compensation for hourly-paid staff.
The strike, initiated by unions SEK, PEO, and Deok, aims to address grievances related to low wages and other labour demands. Consequently, the public is urged to exercise caution when swimming and engaging in water activities at beaches lacking lifeguard supervision.
In addition to the impact on lifeguard services, all museums, archaeological sites, and ancient monuments across the island will also be closed for the duration of the strike, according to the antiquities department.
