Mass transportation unions in Athens, who had called for a 24-hour strike on Wednesday, are modifying their actions after pressure by the minister of Education and parents of children sitting for university examinations, ANA reports.
The strike has been called by the largest private and public sector unions GSEE and ADEDY, and the Labor Center of Athens to protest the labor bill being voted in Parliament.
Until further notice, transport will operate as follows:
– Metro lines 2 and 3 (blue and red) are still on 24-hour strike notice. They were scheduled to meet at 16:00 to review their actions.
– Metro line 1 (“electric train”) will operate from the start of the schedule to 10:00 a.m. only, striking the rest of the day.
– Urban railroad trains (proastiakos) and TrainOSE intercity trains will stop operating from 12:00 noon to 16:00 in a work stoppage.
– Buses and trolleys will hold a work stoppage from 13:00 to 17:00. They will start withdrawing before 13:00 and normal operation is expected to be restored around 18:00.
