Athens was brought to a standstill as striking taxi drivers launched an unannounced motorcade to Greece’s Parliament, hours after clashes broke out at the Transport Ministry during their ongoing 48-hour strike

Greece’s taxi owners are escalating their industrial action with a nationwide 48-hour strike on 2–3 December, saying months of dialogue with authorities have failed to resolve key issues affecting the sector’s viability

Greece faces a nationwide strike on October 1, with major disruptions to public transport, ferries, schools, and public services expected throughout the day

The strike begins at midnight on Sunday and ends at 6 p.m. on Monday.

The strike follows escalating tensions with the government over a joint ministerial decision granting transport operations to vans, a move the taxi sector strongly opposes.
