The Greek Civil Aviation Authority Federation called off on Wednesday a wave of strikes scheduled to be held in August over payment delay announced a day earlier.
Tuesday’s press release had alarmed local hoteliers and tourism agents who feared a financial distraction at the peak of the tourism season for an industry that represents a ray of hope for the resurrection of the ailing Greek national economy.
According to the latest announcement of the federation, civil aviation unionists reached an agreement with government officials concerning the payment of four-month due allowances for overtime.
Therefore, they will not proceed to the daily work stoppages and 24-hour strikes that would run from Aug. 3 to Aug. 31, disrupting hundreds of flights.
