[01] Nationwide media strike on Thursday

The Panhellenic Federation of Journalists Unions (POESY) has called a 24-hour nationwide strike in all the mass media in Greece beginning at 6:00 a.m. Thursday and running through 6:00 a.m. Friday.

In a show of support, the Union of Athens Daily Newspaper Personnel (EPIEA) will hold a three-hour work stoppage on Thursday beginning at 1:00 p.m.

Due to the strike, which also affects Athens News Agency (ANA) staff, no news services will be dispatched by the ANA for the duration, while a security staff will be on stand-by in the event of urgent news.

We ask our subscribers for their understanding.

The ANA news services will resume normally as of 6:00 a.m. Friday.
