Thessaloniki metro workers protest over layoffs

Thessaloniki metro construction workers on Wednesday staged a protest outside the construction consortium's offices over mass layoffs they condemned as illegal, demanding that the project continue.

The metro construction workers launched a 24-hour strike and the rest of their colleagues will hold a work stoppage from 12:30 until the end of their shift over the 69 layoffs on Wednesday.

The workers consider the dismissals illegal and say the company failed to adhere to the legal procedure for mass dismissals, announcing plans to contest them in court.
