Work stoppages at Athens International Airport

GREECE: Air traffic controllers say they plan to stage work stoppages at Athens International Airport Wednesday, which will likely disrupt flights to the Greek capital.

The controllers had planned a 24-hour strike but a court in Athens ruled late Tuesday that the protest was illegal.

The controllers are demanding better health care benefits and say they will announce alternative protest plans shortly. The strike might now take the form of a series of shorter work stoppages.
