Unionists block ferries in Piraeus
Tension mounted in the port of Piraeus on Tuesday as members of Greece?s Panhellenic Seamen?s Union blocked the departure of a number of ferries.
Three ferries scheduled to depart for the Saronic Sea remained at dock, along with boats ?Nissos Chios? and ?Nissos Myconos.?
Earlier in the day «Nissos Chios» passengers had confronted the unionists whose aim was to block ships which do not implement collective contract agreements and owe wages to staff.
A public prosecutor was subsequently informed of the incident.
