A nationwide 24-hour labor strike has been called for Tuesday by Greece's two major umbrella federations GSEE and ADEDY representing the private and public sectors, respectively.

Greek media will also be taking part in the strike, which has been called in protest of the government's austerity measures and stinging changes in social security and labor relations.

The ANA-MPA will also be taking part in the labor action, and as such no news will be disseminated from 6:00 a.m. Tuesday to 6:00 a.m. Wednesday, when transmission will be resumed.

Protest demonstrations and marches are also planned throughout Tuesday in Athens, Thessaloniki and most cities throughout the country.
