A strike on all Athens fixed-rail public transport, including Greek railway trains serving the Athens airport, will all bring the city’s metro, tram and rail systems to a halt after 21:00 on Wednesday and until the end of the shift.
Further strike action affecting the tram, metro and electric railways is planned on Thursday, from noon until 17:00, after workers transferred a work stoppage originally announced for Friday.
Workers on all Greek railway companies (OSE, TRAINOSE, Proastiakos) are continuing with a series of three-hour work stoppages, taking place from 5:00-8:00, 13:00-16:00 and 21:00-24:00 on Wednesday and Thursday. Strikes by Proastiakos also affect metro services to the Athens airport.
Strike action will be joined on Monday by Civil Aviation Authority staff, who have announced a five-day strike ending at midnight the following Friday.
Staff held the strikes in protest against plans to transfer the state transport companies to a new privatisation fund.
