Hellenic Petroleum workers call 10-day strike

Workers at Greece's biggest refiner Hellenic Petroleum said
on Thursday they have called a 10-day strike starting April 3 to demand more hirings.
"They are trying to start the new gasoline unit in Thessaloniki without proper staffing," the company's labour union chief Panagiotis Ofthalmides told Reuters.
The strike will cover all the company's three refineries in Greece, he said.
