A one-day nation-wide strike Wednesday by Greece’s largest labour union could further disrupt Athens Olympic construction, the organization told the Associated Press Monday.
The strike is expected to shut down some public services, including the mass transit system, and cause flight delays and cancellations at airports around Greece.
According to the Associated Press the mass transit strike may also affect spectators making their way to a special ceremony marking the arrival of the Olympic flame in Athens.
Meanwhile, Athens organizers told the International Association of Athletics Federations that the main Olympic stadium will be ready to host a test event in track and field in mid June and will have a roof for the Summer Games in place.
According to an IAAF statement a pre-Olympics test event held to determine if a facility is ready (the Greek national championships) will take place June 10-12.
