Unions representing Athens public transport workers on Tuesday decided to suspend a 24-hour strike, with press reports pointing to a tough stance adopted by the transport ministry, which notified company managements to file legal action against the industrial actions as "illegal and abusive".
A court ruling on the lawsuits filed by the metro, electric railway (Isap) and tram managements is expected later in the afternoon on Tuesday.
Isap electric rail workers decided to suspend a 24-hour strike announced for Wednesday and instead will hold a four-hour work stoppage between noon and four p.m. Buses will also participate in the work stoppage, while trolleys and the Proastiakos suburban railway will run as scheduled.
