Metro staff join Athens public transport strikes

The metro and Isap electric railway staff unions decided to coordinate their strike action, carrying out two work stoppages on Wednesday from the start of their shift until 8am and from 9pm until the end of the shift.

 

Both the metro and Isap railway will run normally between 8am and 9pm.

 

Other metro staff unions have also announced work stoppages and a 24-hour strike on Thursday if the Infrastructure, Transport and Networks minister does not agree to meet them and listen to their objections to a new bill on reforming public transport. 

 

Buses and trolleys repeat Tuesday afternoon's work stoppages on Wednesday (11am until 3:30pm for buses, 11am until 3pm for trolley buses), followed by a 24-hour strike on Thursday.
