The train collision killed more than 40 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now the Greek Railway Workers' Union (POS) has announced a 24-hour strike on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among other things, they are protesting against the fact that the railway network has been neglected by several successive governments, reports the Greek newspaper Kathimerini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201d"Unfortunately, our long-standing demands for staff employment, better training and, above all, the use of modern security systems always end up in the trash," the POS union writes in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eight railway workers died in the accident, including four train drivers on the two trains that collided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was just before midnight between Tuesday and Wednesday that a passenger train that had just passed through a tunnel collided head-on \u2013 on the same tracks \u2013 with a freight train near the city of Larissa in northern Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cause of the accident is still unknown, but a number of people have been arrested, including a suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
