Athens Metro employees will stage a 24-hour strike on Wednesday, while
all public transport employees will hold a 5-hour work stoppage on
Thursday from 11am to 4pm.Ana-Mpa
The Metro employees are striking in a show of support for some 285
contract colleagues whose contracts are expiring and are facing loss of
their jobs, following a report by Public Administration Inspector
Leandros Rakintzis that their contracts should not be renewed because
they were hired illegally during the pre-election period.
The public transport work stoppage is in protest of the cutbacks in the
employees' salaries and the changes planned to the social security
system, as well as in pursuit of institutional demands.
