The tourist coach drivers' union federations is apparently going on a four-day strike beginning next Monday at 1:00 p.m. and ending at 1:00 p.m. on June 8, after the failure of negotiations for the signature of a new collective labor agreement for drivers. An announcement by the General National Federation of Tourism Enterprises expressed sorrow over the failure of negotiations and referred to a failure of the other side to appreciate that "Greece's economic reality had changed in an irreversible way" and that its members were no longer able to pay the drivers of tourist buses the same benefits they had received in recent years without any change.
