From TTW yesterday:

For the third consecutive day, ferry services across Greece have come to a complete halt due to a strike by the Greek seamen’s union, leaving island residents and tourists stranded. The seamen, represented by the Panhellenic Seamen’s Federation (PNO), are demanding a 15 percent pay rise for their members, while shipowners have so far only offered a 3 percent increase. With both sides at an impasse, the strike continues to disrupt travel and supplies to Greece’s many inhabited islands, especially those without airports.

The ferry strike has resulted in a transportation crisis for the islands that rely heavily on these services, leaving them isolated from the mainland. Greek television has reported growing concerns about supply shortages on several islands, further exacerbating the impact on both residents and the tourism industry.

Greek ferries, which are as vital to the country’s transportation network as rail services are in other parts of Europe, remain at a standstill for the third day, and no services are expected on Friday either. This comes at a time when many tourists are still vacationing on Greece’s islands, and residents are heavily dependent on ferries for essential goods and travel. Without alternative transport options, particularly for islands without airports, there is a growing sense of urgency to resolve the strike.

The PNO union has threatened to extend the strike indefinitely if their demands are not met. The ongoing disruption has left many passengers stranded, with no clear resolution in sight. Tourists who had planned to return to the mainland are now facing delays, and many are left unsure of when they will be able to leave. Additionally, with ferries playing a crucial role in the delivery of supplies to island communities, some islands are already experiencing supply shortages.

Surely the Greek Government must intervene to save the economy?

Eh, well maybe:

The Greek government has urged both sides to return to the negotiating table to resolve the issue and restore ferry services as soon as possible.

That all?

Yes, the shipowners are sticking to a 3% rise.
