Current exchange rate -

1.00 GBP = 1.19328 Euro

Not quite as good as it has been but still much better than for most of last year

Google translates like this.



The Board of OJ decided at its meeting of 16 July 2010
the descent of the Divisionin a strike length in the form of 24 rolling strikes starting Sunday, the 25th July 2010 from 00.01 hours until 24.00 local time.
Contact bailiff can legally serve in this those in the audience, to become acquainted and for legally.

Found it in English which makes more sense!!

Flights in and out of Greece will be disrupted on July 25 when air traffic controllers go on strike.

Air Traffic Controllers’ Association of Greece-EEEKE announced that they will initiate rolling 24-hours strikes. The first strike will start on Sunday July 25, 2010, at 00:01 and finish until 24:00 local time.

Greek air traffic controllers demand payments for overtime work and the opening of new jobs in order to increase “air traffic safety” as they write in a statement on their website.

Air controllers’ strike affect primarily the tourism sector, “which accounts for nearly a fifth of Greece’s 240 billion euro economy” Reuters reports.

Yiannis Kourmoulakis, general secretary of the controllers union, said to Reuters, they did not take part in May and June general strikes in order to avoid hurting the country’s vital sector. “Unfortunately they (the government) did not make use of the time we gave them,” Kourmoulakis said.

Can someone define a "rolling strike" for me in the context of the ATC strikes? We are supposed to travel on the 29th to Greece - would there be another strike again so soon??
