Worker unions at STASY, operator of the Athens Metro and tram network, announced a full-day strike Friday to mark May Day, running from the start of service through its conclusion that evening.
“The STASY Worker Unions honor Labor Day and announce our participation in the 24-hour nationwide strike,” the unions said.
The unions cast May 1 as more than a public holiday, calling it “the symbolic day of the global working class” – one born from “the blood of Chicago’s workers in 1886,” who sacrificed themselves for the eight-hour workday and humane working conditions.
