Flights to and from Greece will be grounded and ships will remain docked at ports on Thursday, as Greek workers walk off the job to protest over the country's deadliest train crash on record which killed 57 people on Feb. 28.
The 24-hour strike called by Greece's largest private and public sector unions is also expected to shut public services and state schools and disrupt urban transport.
It is the latest in a series of protests since the head-on collision of a passenger train with more than 350 people on board, most of them university students, with a freight train in the central Greek region of Tempi. Rail workers have staged rolling strikes.
