Striking seamen return to work
Striking Greek seamen returned to work today (6 February) after the government issued a civil mobilisation order.
The move came after talks broke down and the Pan-Hellenic Seamen’s Union voted yesterday to extend their strike until Friday (8 February). The six-day long strike had cut off the country’s islands and left tons of perishable goods in ports.
