Another Greek drama…

Tuesday, 08 Jul, 2010 0

Travellers to Greece can expect chaos today as a general strike will mean no planes can enter Greek airspace, no public transport will operate and no ferries will run.

In industrial action that is supported by everyone from doctors, lawyers and bank workers to dockers, railways workers and council litter pickers, Athens is expected to grind to a halt as strikers protest against the government’s pension cutting and new austerity measures.

This is the sixth time this year strikers have hit the city and called a halt to transport in the capital Athens.

Olympic Airlines and Aegean domestic and international flights will be severely affected with 34 flights grounded and 45 rescheduled, according to press agency AFP.
