Greek Railway Workers Refuse to Transport NATO Tanks Toward Ukraine

"Trade unions in the Greek city of Thessaloniki united in support of employees of private

railway company TrainOSE after management attempted to clamp down on workers who refused to take part in the transfer of US and NATO military equipment from Alexandropoulos to Eastern Europe....“We demand that our country’s railway rolling stock not be used to transfer the US and NATO arsenal to neighbouring countries. We condemn employers’ threats against TrainOSE employees who have refused to provide technical maintenance for trains which are currently transporting NATO tanks from the Alexandropoulos port. Employers’ statements to the effect that ‘what do you care what the trains carry, it’s your job and you are obliged to go’ are a joke,” the resolution said. 

According to Alexandropoulos port director Konstantinos Hadzimihail, three trains’ worth of NATO equipment have been sent to Poland and Romania through the port to date. At least three NATO ships have entered the port over the past month, including the US-flagged Liberty Passion, and the Hartland Point, a British ro-ro cargo vessel, and the US Liberty King, which is continuing to be unloaded.

The KKE has been highly active in opposing Athens’ involvement in the crisis between NATO and Russia over Ukraine.

On Tuesday, KKE activists in the region of Thrace threw water balloons filled with red paint at US armor being transported on railway cars." Sputnik
