Three-hour work stoppage on Athens metro and tram Tuesday

The Athens metro and tram will not run for three hours on Tuesday morning due to industrial action by transport workers.

Unions said the work stoppage would last from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.

They called on all employees of the transport companies to participate in a protest against the government’s planned labour law.

Services are expected to wind down in advance of 9 a.m. and may take some time to resume normal service in the afternoon.
