Upcoming strike by Greek ferry crews threatens disruptions to island travel following death of passenger
Fox News
Travelers heading to Greece's popular islands are poised to encounter disruptions in the coming week due to a 24-hour strike scheduled for September 13 by ferry crews.
The union didn’t directly link the reasons for the strike with Tuesday's drowning, which sparked anger and condemnation across Greece.
A PNO statement deplored what it called the improper implementation of laws and regulations on shipping and harbor safety. It said crew members are overworked and ferry sailing schedules are "unreasonable," which PNO said raises severe safety concerns.
The statement also called on the government to "take all necessary measures to protect human life at sea."
