A strike by Greek seamen has brought ferry services to a standstill for the third consecutive day, leaving thousands of tourists and residents stranded on islands across Greece. The strike, which began on Tuesday, is due to a disagreement over wages between the Panhellenic Seamen’s Federation (PNO) and shipowners. The PNO is demanding a 15 percent pay raise, while shipowners have offered only a 3 percent increase. With no resolution in sight, the strike threatens to continue indefinitely, causing significant disruption to island communities and the tourism industry.
