On Tuesday, Athens' subway workers continued to strike for the sixth day, disobeying a court order telling them to return to work. The strike is a protest against new pay cuts. A court ruled on Monday that the strike was illegal, and that the government could force the workers back onto the job. The union says that they will not stop, and that the proposed pay cuts are too much. They also said that the government can try to force them back if they want. The strike is causing long delays for many workers in the city.
