The Communist-affiliated labor union PAME has started its demonstration at Syntagma Square in front of the Parliament where speeches and protests will take place

The circulation of public transport will not run normally due to the participation of workers in the 24-hour strike that unions have declared for Labour Day.

Specifically, Hellenic Railways (OSE) will stop running all day Thursday. The urban railway will also be on strike, affecting inter-city runs and anyone going to the airport on the Athens Metro, which will only go as far as the Doukissis Plakentias station in its northeastern branch.

City buses and trolleys will run from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m, whereas ships will remain docked at Greek ports due to the participation of the Panhellenic Seamen’s Federation in private sector union GSEE’s 24hour strike.

Piraeus-Kifissia electric railway (ISAP), Athens Metro and tram will run normally. However, Syntagma Metro station will remain closed from the beginning of the day until the end of the planned rallies and celebrations.

A protest rally is set to commence at Klafthmonos Square at 11am organized by the two largest unions in Greece, GSEE (private sector) and ADEDY (public sector), and the Athens Labour Center, while the Communist-affiliated labor union PAME  will hold a different rally at 10 am at Syntagma Square.
