Ferries, trains halted as Greece strikes over working hours

ATHENS: Greek trains, ferries and taxis were halted and protests were expected in the capital Athens on Wednesday during a one-day general strike against extended working hours. The action was organized by Greece’s largest private and public trade unions to protest a government plan to extend a 13-hour working day cap now in effect for workers with two jobs to workers with one job. The rule is expected to pass in October, a labor ministry official said.
