Railway – train

A 24-hour nationwide strike was announced on Friday by the Board of Directors of the Panhellenic Federation of Railways and Fixed Track Vehicles “on the one hand as a sign of respect to the memory of the victims of the tragic accident in Tempe and on the other hand sending a message – a demand in every direction that for us Railwaymen above all and above all is the safety of passengers and employees”, as they point out in their announcement.

The railway workers demand “attribution of responsibilities to the system which, throughout time, stood against the Railway and the Railway Workers who, with professional conscientiousness, every day tried and are trying to keep the Railway “standing”. They are the only ones who are not to blame for all that is happening as they have been “shouting” in all directions for the safety of the Railway for years, because they saw what was coming! Attribution of responsibilities and full clarification of the tragic accident and rendering of Justice”.

As they point out they ask:

  • Direct recruitment of personnel, citing tragic shortages even in critical specialties, make it impossible for the smooth operation of passenger and commercial transport.
  • Completion of projects. Improvement, development, modernization of the entire railway network.
  • Restoration of a single and modern railway.
