ATHENS (Reuters) - Greeks walked off the job in a nationwide strike on Thursday to protest austerity measures and reforms the leftist-led government has agreed with the country's creditors in exchange for bailout loans.

Domestic flights and Athens transport were disrupted, ships remained docked for 24 hours and some public services shut as part of the strike organised by Greece's largest labour unions, private sector union GSEE and its public sector counterpart ADEDY.
