Greek police break up 9-month steel factory strike

Greek police on Friday broke up a nine-month strike at one of the country's main steel plants, arresting six workers manning a front gate roadblock, the state-run Athens News Agency said.

Following a court order, police intervened before dawn to open the gates of the Hellenic Halyvourgia plant in the area of Aspropyrgos, west of Athens, but met resistance from the small group of strikers.

There was also tension between the strikers and a group of workers who want to resume work and tried to enter the plant.
