In an updated statement on Friday, transportation unions said that the Athens metro and tram will not run at all on Labor Day (Sunday), ANA reports.
STASY staff noted they will honor May 1 with a 24-hour strike, and “the pioneering fighters of the labor class.”
The Labor Day of May 1, which this year falls on Sunday, will be observed on Monday (May 2), a national holiday. STASY staff pointed out that on Monday, Athens tram lines and the tram will follow a Sunday schedule.
As mentioned earlier, buses and trolleys will operate between 09:00 and 21:00 on Sunday, as OASA and IPAP unions will be joining the 24-hour strike called by the private sector union GSEE. Buses are expected to be withdrawn from service as early as 20:00.
The National Federation of Railroad Employees also called for a 24-hour strike on Sunday.
