Greece: Taxi drivers to strike in Attica from 14:00 to 20:00 Feb. 13

Event

The Attica Taxi Drivers Union has announced plans for a strike in Attica from 14:00 to 20:00 Feb. 13. The labor action is in response to a series of disputes with authorities, including fare prices. While the organizers have not announced plans for demonstrations, pickets, and gatherings cannot be ruled near prominent public squares or government buildings.

Security personnel will likely deploy to monitor any protests that may materialize. The work stoppage will likely cause demand for other modes of transport, including public transport. Increased congestion and possible delays on metro, bus, and tram services are likely.

Advice

Allow extra time for travel in Athens and surrounding areas. Confirm all taxi bookings, including to and from airports. Anticipate delays and congestion on other forms of travel, including public transport. Heed the directives of local officials.
