Unions representing Athens public transport workers on Tuesday decided to suspend a 24-hour strike. Press reports pointed to a tougher stance adopted by the Transport Ministry, which notified company managements to file legal action against the industrial actions as “illegal and abusive”.
A court ruling on the lawsuits filed by the metro, electric railway (ISAP) and tram managements is expected later in the afternoon on Tuesday.
ISAP electric rail workers decided to suspend a 24-hour strike announced for Wednesday and instead will hold a four-hour work stoppage between noon and 4 p.m. Buses will also participate in the work stoppage. Trolley buses, the all-important Athens metro and the Proastiakos suburban railway will run as scheduled.
