Strikes on July 15 bring air traffic to a stop
Voice of America on the Thursday strikes that stopped air transport in Athens:
"Greek public sector workers staged another strike against the government's austerity measures Thursday.
Hundreds of workers demonstrated outside parliament in Athens as lawmakers prepared to vote on pension reforms for public servants that include raising the age of retirement.
Air traffic controllers joined the walkout, halting flights at all Greek airports for at least four hours.
The strike also shut down government offices across the country."
