Greece: Unionized railway workers plan to strike nationwide Sept. 24
Unionized railway workers plan to strike across Greece from 18:00 Sept. 24. Rail service disruptions likely.
Unionized railway workers plan to strike across Greece Sept. 24 from 18:00 until the end of their shifts. The Panhellenic Union of Traction Personnel (PEPE) has called for industrial action to highlight security risks to its members. Striking workers may participate in pickets at transport hubs.
Rail service disruptions are likely across Greece during the work stoppage and may extend through the peak travel hours of Sept. 25. Increased demand for alternative transport and increased road traffic congestion are probable. Pickets of striking workers may prompt localized disruptions.
Make alternative arrangements if traveling by rail in Greece through Sept. 24. Confirm rail schedules before travel and plan for delays and disruptions to passenger and freight services. Follow local travel and security advice. Avoid all demonstrations as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions.
