The Athens Urban Rail Transport Company (STASY) has informed commuters that the tram service will not operate on Wednesday between 10 a.m. and 1.30 p.m., due to a work stoppage by a workers’ union.
Trains will gradually start to be withdrawn at 9 a.m. Services are expected to be fully restored by 2.30 p.m.
Employees are demanding the recruitment of new drivers. In a statement last week the union representing Attica tram drivers said that the problem of staff shortages is well known to the relevant authorities.
STASY workers on Line 1 of the metro and the ISAP electric rail will also walk off the job from 10 p.m. until the end of the shift.
