Greece: Unionized customs officers to strike nationwide April 2-3

Unionized customs officers plan to strike across Greece between 00:01 April 2-23:59 April 3. The purpose of the work stoppage is to demand the removal of certain labor regulations, including those concerning shift rotations. Organizers are also planning a second strike between April 8-12.

Customs service disruptions are possible during the strike period. Disruptions to travel and shipments between Greece and non-Schengen countries are likely. Protests or pickets by striking workers are also possible, particularly at border crossings; heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near any demonstrations that may occur.
