In its press release issued on Monday, ADEDY has also called for a mass protest rally at 12:30 at Klafthmonos Square in central Athens.
Several protest rallies and strikes have followed Tuesday night’s collision of a passenger train with a freight train that has claimed the lives of 57 people, most of them undergraduate students.
The Greek Primary Teachers’ Federation (DOE) also announced that they would be joining ADEDY’s nationwide strike on Wednesday and attending the Athens protest rally.
Meanwhile, the rail workers union on Monday announced that they are extending their nationwide strike mobilization through Wednesday. All train services carried out by Hellenic Trains, including all Athens suburban railway services, have been suspended since last Wednesday.
Buses and trolleys will also remain stationary on Wednesday, as the Athens Urban Transport Organization’s (OASA) workers’ union announced their participation in the strike mobilization.
