Seasonal workers in Mykonos have reported widespread allegations of poor working conditions. These reports follow a prior controversy involving a four-star hotel that provided inadequate breakfast to staff prior to 12-hour shifts.

New testimonies shared on social media allege that some businesses charge employees for drinking water at the workplace. Additional claims include the misappropriation of tips by managers and owners, or workers receiving no tips at all. 

Workers also reported systemic issues such as 12-hour shifts, six to seven-day work weeks without rest days, and overcrowded, substandard housing. Due to fears of employer retaliation, many individuals have remained anonymous, though some have been encouraged to report these practices to the Labor Inspection Body.
