No metro, tram or ISAP Thursday as employees walk out
There will be no fixed-track public transport services in the capital on Thursday as staff join a 24-hour strike called by unions for the Athens metro, tram and Kifissia-Piraeus electric railway (ISAP).
The unions are protesting fresh cuts to state spending and salaries foreseen in a new austerity package.
