Greek Air Traffic Controllers Strike

ATHENS —
Greece’s estimated 400 air traffic controllers began a hunger strike Monday in an attempt to win better fringe benefits and improved working conditions from the government.

Athens airport officials said the action caused no unusual delays in plane departures or arrivals.
