Greece: Port workers to conduct nationwide strike Oct. 3-4

Unionized port workers to strike across Greece Oct. 3-4. Maritime shipping disruptions likely.

Warning

Unionized port workers plan to conduct a 48-hour strike across Greece Oct. 3-4. Port personnel affiliated with the Union of Loaders and Unloaders of Greece are conducting the labor action to demand uniform work regulations.

The strike is likely to impact port operations including freight operations and logistic management. Port service disruptions may linger into the morning hours of Oct. 5. Port authorities will likely deploy increased security at the port entrances to facilitate possible protests by striking workers. Localized traffic disruptions are possible in the port vicinity during any demonstration.

Anticipate disruption if routing freight through the affected ports during the strike action; consider alternative shipping methods for critical cargoes. Check for disruptions on other routes and allow additional time to complete journeys. Avoid all protests as a standard precaution.
