Labor Day strikes to paralyze transport

Public transportation in Greece, particularly in Athens, will cease on May 1 as unions and associations stage Labor Day strikes.

The strikes, organized by major labor unions, oppose the government’s decision to move Labor Day to May 7.

They assert that Labor Day is for strikes, not holidays, emphasizing worker grievances.
