Greek Truckers Defy Government Order to End Strike
Editor's summary:
Greece — The Greek government on Wednesday began issuing "civil mobilization orders" to striking truckers that, according to Greece's Kathimerini, essentially calls them up for army duty and forces them back to work. However, many truckers are not giving in and are refusing to return to their routes.
The biggest problem with this strike is most of these drivers are responsible for hauling fuel from refineries to the country's gas stations. And now many stations are running dry.
