Greek rail workers to stage 24-our strike on Wednesday
Train workers are staging a 24-hour strike on Wednesday affecting suburban and nationwide services, following a decision of their union on Tuesday, according to a statement released on Tuesday.
Tonight’s services will also be cancelled, the union announced, adding that metro trains will stop at Doukissis Plakendias station.
The Athens metro also announced it will not be running between the start of the shift and 09.00 am as workers stage a “warning” strike against the government’s deal with Greece’s lenders.
“The austerity storm continues even under the ‘leftist’ government of Tsipras, in the logic of leveling of labor rights and economic bloodletting,” their union SELMA said in a statement which urged workers to participate in Wednesday’s rallies.
The tram will operate normally.
