Metro employees suspend strikes

The employees of the Athens Metro on Friday decided to suspend the 24-hour rolling strikes they had called.

The move is temporary, and concerns the period during which the public dialogue on revamping public transports will be in progress.

The Metro employees, in an announcement, noted that the dialogue concerns not only the relevant bill unveiled by the Infrastructure, Transport and Networks ministry but also a series of other matters they have been “fighting for” over the past 10 months.
In the event that the dialogue proves fruitless, the mobilisations will be resumed, the announcement said.
