A significant container collapse occurred at the COSCO-operated Piraeus Port on October 5th, igniting serious safety concerns among port workers. The port's labor union emphasized the potential for fatalities had the incident happened even moments before or after. The union alleges that COSCO continues to place profit above the well-being of its employees. Greek workers are now demanding improved safety protocols, drawing inspiration from the successful labor actions of dockworkers on the United States East Coast who secured better working conditions and compensation.
