Greek Ferry Crews' Strike Threatens Island Travel After Passenger's Death
Greek ferry crews have announced a 24-hour strike on September 13th, citing safety and labor concerns following the death of a passenger who was pushed into the sea by a crew member. The strike is expected to cause disruptions to travel to Greece's popular island destinations. The PNO union, which called for the strike, highlighted the improper implementation of laws and regulations on shipping and harbor safety, overworked crew members, and unreasonable ferry sailing schedules as severe safety concerns. An investigation is underway into the incident, and two senior Piraeus port police officers have been suspended.
