Nationwide Strike Disrupts Greece's Transport and Tourism

Greek unions demand wage hikes and better conditions as a 24-hour general strike cripples public services and travel during a key holiday period.

A 24-hour general strike in Greece has halted flights, ferries, buses, and trains, leaving tourists stranded and disrupting daily life.
Labor unions ADEDY and GSEE organized the strike to protest low real wages, weak purchasing power, and stagnant economic benefits for workers.
A judicial ruling upheld the legality of the flight controllers' strike, intensifying the impact on Greece's transportation systems.
The strike coincides with the pre-Easter travel season, amplifying its effects on tourism and local businesses reliant on holiday traffic.
Critics highlight broader discontent with government policies, including claims that EU funds disproportionately benefit large corporations over workers.
