In what seems a ceaseless string of strikes all summer protesting government austerity measures, Greek truckers shut down major highways Sept. 13 and railway unions again walked off the job Sept. 14. Motorists clogged the streets to get gas ahead of the truckers’ strike fearing a repeat of a weeklong strike in July when gas pumps ran dry all over the country. The government took control of all fuel trucks to break that deadlock and still control them, so fuel is unlikely to run out, but travel around Greece could be disrupted by such strikes at any time.
