Greek guards say scores of archaeological sites and museums across the country will be shut down over weekends, starting on Christmas, as they strike to protest the lack of extra weekend pay.
The guards’ association released a statement Thursday declaring guards have not been paid extra for working weekend shifts over the last two months.
It says workers will keep the weekend strike going until the ministries of culture and finance solve the problem.
Greece’s crisis has permeated the economy, and the country has only been kept solvent through international bailouts since May 2010.
