Greeks strike against EU-IMF reforms

Greek unions held a 24-hour anti-austerity strike Wednesday, shutting down ferry services to the country's world-famous islands, disrupting rail travel and closing pharmacies and several government offices. Called by the country's main private and public unions, the first general strike of the year is to protest new labour reforms demanded by the country's EU-IMF creditors. Ships remained anchored in the main port Piraeus near Athens, with the country's main shipping union observing the strike call. The national railway, including Athens commuter trains, were also disrupted, though the country's airports were seeing normal service, according to AFP.
