Greek unions call general strike for June 28
Greece's largest labor union has called a 48-hour general strike for June 28 and 29 to protest against a new euro28 billion ($41.6 billion) austerity package due to be passed in parliament next week.
Airports will shut down between 8:00 to 12:00 and 18:00 to 22:00 on both days due to air traffic controllers and civil aviation strikes. On these days, all airports will close, and flights to, from and within Greece will be canceled or rescheduled.
The goal of strikes is to cause maximum inconvenience and put pressure on government officials who are blamed fore their rough budget policy.
