Passenger ship routes to be fully serviced due to Easter
The Panhellenic Seamen's Federation (PNO) decided on Wednesday to temporarily abstain from any further strikes in the coastal navigation passenger ships' crews, in order to avoid disrupting sea transportation services for people, cars, trucks and goods in the Greek seas during the forthcoming Orthodox Easter celebrations.
Nevertheless, as had been announced, PNO is still participating in Wednesday's 24-hour general strike of the public and private sectors. All coastal navigation routes will begin being serviced once again starting at 06:00 a.m. Thursday according to ANA-MPA
PNO announced on Wednesday, that it remains "vigilant", even after the new collective work agreements reached with coastal navigation and Mediterranean routes passenger and touristic ships' employers. The seamen's federation still pursues workable solutions to the problems of high unemployment, degradation of pension and social security benefits and rights and other issues.
