ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek dock workers across the country walked off the job Wednesday in a 24-hour strike to protest plans to sell a stake in the Piraeus Port Authority, the country’s largest port.

Hundreds of striking port workers gathered in central Athens and marched to Parliament for a protest rally. Nearby, protesting farmers’ market suppliers demonstrated outside the Finance Ministry against higher taxes. Both rallies ended peacefully.
