A public transport workers strike has commenced today, Wednesday July 6th, in Athens, Greece. Nearly all workers in the city's transport system have walked off the job in a planned 24-hour strike to protest privatizations. The privatizations are one of a number of austerity measures the Greek government has been required to implement in return for receiving rescue loans from Eurozone countries.
