Greece: Taxi drivers to strike in Athens Sept. 9-10
Taxi drivers to strike Athens, Greece, 05:00 Sept. 9-05:00 Sept. 10. Ground transport disruptions likely.
Unionized taxi drivers affiliated with the Attica Taxi Drivers' Union (SATA) plan to strike in Athens 05:00 Sept. 9-05:00 Sept. 10. The purpose of the action is to denounce proposed tax and regulatory changes impacting drivers. The work stoppage coincides with a SATA general assembly meeting.
Taxi availability will likely be disrupted throughout the strike period. The industrial action may increase demand for other modes of transportation. Picket protests are possible; heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near any demonstrations that may materialize.
Book alternative ground transport in advance. As a standard precaution, avoid any demonstrations that occur. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance.
