Local Greek seamen and dockers strike for 2 days over pensions
INCHCAPE Shipping Services (ISS) is advising of a 48 hour strike of the Seamen's Union in Greece on January 20, which is expected to affect the routes of domestic and local ferries and vessels calling at Piraeus, Aspropyrgos, Eleusis, Pachi, Megara and Thessaloniki ports to discharge cargo.
The Crew Union of Towage and Salvage and the Tug Boats Crew Union of Thessaloniki have confirmed their participation on the strike that was to start at 6am local time on 20 January and end at 6am on January 22.
During the stoppage period, vessels will not be able to berth, shift or sail from the affected ports.
The strike has been called by the union in response to the government's planned changes to labour and insurance rights, pensions and retirement ages.
