Strike to affect Athens metro lines 1, 2, and 3 on SundayGreek train workers' unions call for a mass protest at central Syntagma Square on Sunday morning

Train workers' unions in Athens Urban Rail Transport (STASY) on Saturday announced a strike that will affect metro lines 1, 2, and 3 on Sunday, March 5, ANA reports.

They are also calling for a mass protest gathering at Syntagma Square at 11:00 am on the day, all in relation to the fatal train crash at Tempi.

Although this mobilization was announced as a 24-hour strike, the unions -which include train drivers- clarified that metro train services in Athens will only be partially paused, that is from shift's start in the early morning until 09:00 and from 16:00 until the end of shift, to facilitate the transportation of protesters from 9 am to 4 pm, it was stressed in the announcement.
