Toula, 28, and her sister Maria, 23, worked at the Post Office and were leaders in the major strike of the Triatatikoi (employees of the Post, Telegraph, and Telephone services) in Athens, which took place from April 14 to April 21, 1942. They were imprisoned in Chaidari and executed on May 10, 1944, at the Kaisariani shooting range, just days after the execution of the 200.
The strike of the TTT employees, under the guidance of the EAM, was the first significant strike of public employees in occupied Athens, demanding a solution to the food crisis. It is considered the first response of workers to the terror of famine, and it successfully achieved the fulfillment of most of its demands.
