OPAP Agents to Strike on Friday and Saturday in Protest Against Taxes

Greek betting company OPAP's sales agents will go on strike on Friday and Saturday, their union said, threatening further labor action unless the government changes the way it taxes agents.
OPAP, 34 percent owned by the state, has a monopoly on sports betting and lotteries in Greece until 2020. Only its 5,300 agents can sell the company's products.
