Sources: 5. Developments: 2. In early September 2026, Greek political and labor representatives raised concerns regarding government management of natural disasters and the compensation of uniformed services. MP Komninos Delveroudis criticized the state for prioritizing compensation over prevention following significant land destruction from fires and floods, specifically questioning the adequacy of housing assistance and the completion of flood prevention works in Thessaly. Simultaneously, labor leaders and uniformed personnel, including police, firefighters, and military members, intensified demands for wage increases. While the government proposed a gross salary increase of 80 euros and a permanent annual financial boost starting in 2027, representatives from the POMENS federation argued these measures are insufficient. They noted that such increases do not bridge the gap created by the loss of bonuses in 2012. Demands include the restoration of 13th and 14th month salaries, the abolition of the solidarity contribution for the unemployed, and improved compensation for night shifts and specific service duties. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-08: Greek uniformed services renew demands for wage increases Greek uniformed services continue to protest for better pay and benefits, rejecting recent government wage increases as insufficient to replace lost bonuses and address rising costs. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/greek-uniformed-services-renew-demands-for-wage-increases ### 2026-09-03: Greece: Criticism rises over disaster management and military wages Greek officials and unions are criticizing the government over natural disaster prevention, inadequate compensation limits, and insufficient wage increases for military and uniformed personnel. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/greece-criticism-rises-over-disaster-management-and-military-wages --- Cite as: Greek uniformed services and disaster management disputes.
