Ferries and trains stop in Greece as a strike begins

(ANSA) - ATHENS, 17 APR - Ferries remained moored in Greek ports, and transport workers disrupted the country's train services following a 24-hour strike scheduled for today.
    Greece's largest private sector union, GSEE, called the mobilization to demand increased workers' wages, which the high cost of living and inflation have increasingly challenged.
    Moreover, according to the union, wages for Greek workers in the sector are still lower than those of their European colleagues. Bus drivers, taxi drivers, and workers from the leftist union Pame also participated in the strike. Rallies will take place at 11 a.m. local time in Syntagma Square and surrounding squares in central Athens, Efsyn reported. (ANSA).
