Greek civil aviation workers suspend strike
Greek civil aviation workers suspended a 5-day strike planned for June 20-25 to protest against the development of the country's regional airports after receiving assurances from the govt their jobs were not at risk. Greece's privatisation agency published an invitation Monday to hire an adviser to work out whether 23 regional airports could be further developed. In response, civil aviation workers union OSYPA called the strike fearing that such a move would result in job losses or hurt workers' rights. The walkout would have disrupted air traffic at the start of the peak tourism season. After a series of meetings, OSYPA said the govt and senior tourism officials had shown "sensitivity" over the issues that worried workers and were willing to discuss the airports' future with unions. <br/>
