Panhellenic Seamen’s Federation halts departures across Greece; Lima transport union plans 24-hour stoppage, and municipal strikes continue in Canada and California
Greek seafarers are staging a 24-hour strike on March 5 that is keeping ships in port across the country, demanding the immediate repatriation of crews stranded in the Gulf amid the Middle East war. The Panhellenic Seamen’s Federation announced the action, and the coastguard said “ships are not leaving port.” Merchant Marine Minister Vasilis Kikilias said 10 Greek-flagged ships are in the Gulf with 85 Greek seafarers aboard, and about 325 additional vessels linked to Greek interests but flying foreign flags are also in the region. The coastguard said it could not specify crew numbers on those other Greek-owned vessels.
In Peru, the Association of Urban Transport Service Operators of Peru plans a 24-hour strike in Lima on March 5, with more than 8,000 transport workers suspending service and convoys set for the Government Palace and Congress over rising killings and armed extortion targeting drivers. In Canada, outside municipal workers in Kirkland, Quebec, launched a 48-hour strike from March 4 to 5 over a year-long bargaining stalemate, citing low wages and scheduling concerns, while maintaining essential services. In California, more than 70 public works employees in the City of Orange are on strike after negotiations reached an impasse, seeking wage and benefit parity with cities of similar scale.
Concurrent actions in Greece, Peru, Canada, and the U.S. affect shipping and local services, a combination that can slow cargo flows and urban mobility.
