Greece’s lower league players announce strike
Posted Tuesday, January 31, 2012 by YAHOO Sport
ATHENS, Greece (AP)—Players in Greece’s second and third-tier leagues say they will strike starting Wednesday to protest a lack of insurance coverage for them and their dependents.
A previous coverage deal expired on Dec. 31 and since then the league has been negotiating each week and covering only the players—and then only during games.
In a statement Monday, the players say this arrangement is inadequate. They warn that they will not play Wednesday’s game and strike until their demand for continuous coverage for them and their dependents is met.
