After more than tw0 weeks of strike actions, protests and pleas from businesses to end their blockades and move goods around the country, truckers still refused to remove their vehicles blocking major highways on the outskirts of Athens and Thessaloniki. There was speculation that the truckers would suspend their protests for a week to allow deliveries to resume, to empty ports of backlogged cargo and restock stores and supermarkets, but truckers’ unions voted overwhelmingly Sept. 28 to continue their strike. There is no end in sight to the disruption and basic goods are now in short supply, especially in the islands.
