Another general strike set for Thursday is to shut down all public services and disrupt public transport.
Schools will shut down, state hospitals will function on emergency staff, while all ferries will remain tied up at port. Journalists will also walk off the job, pulling news broadcasts off the air. But air traffic controllers are not expected to join the strike, leaving the country's airports open.
Two major demonstrations are planned in Athens against the austerity measures.
