GREECE’S civil servants walked out their workplaces on a 24-hour strike today as part of their campaign for better protections against Covid-19. 

Island ferries were halted and the Athens metro system and tram were shut by the action, however flights that had been cancelled or rescheduled were reinstated as air traffic controllers called off their strike, after a court ruled their participation illegal.

Greek journalists were also participating with a two-hour work stoppage between 11 am and 1 pm, during which no news broadcasts were aired.
