Today, the country is on strike, due to the 24-hour nationwide strike declared by the GSEE. Transport workers participate in the strike.

Stopped metro, electric, tram

Attica will be without metro, electric and tram, as the workers decided to participate in the 24-hour strike of the GSEE.

The STASY unions in their announcement request a salary increase, beyond the minimum, to protect the purchasing power of households with low and medium incomes, direct recruitment of staff to cover the organization’s permanent needs and immediate reinstatement of the National General Collective Labor Agreement to power

Work stations on buses, trolleybuses

With work stoppages, bus and trolley workers are participating in the 24-hour strike of the GSEE.

According to the OASA Workers’ Union and the ILPAP Workers’ Union, city buses and trolleys will run from 09:00 to 21:00 due to work stoppages (from the start of the shift to 09:00 and from 21: 00 until the end of the shift).

The restoration of the operation of the vehicles will begin gradually after the end of the work stoppage and, accordingly, their progressive withdrawal for the depots will begin.

The workers are demanding public, safe, modern transport, a collective labor agreement and staff recruitment, signing of a collective bargaining agreement.

Buses will run normally on the OASA lines that have been taken over by KTEL.

Work stop in taxis

With a work stoppage from 05:00 to 15:00 in the afternoon, the taxi owners are participating in the strike, while they have also planned a gathering at the SATA offices at 10:00. With the slogan “no taxis on the roads”, the Taxi Drivers Union (SATA) calls on all taxi drivers to participate in the strike “for the three wounds that we need to close tax, project interception and multinationals”.
