New General Strike on October 18

By on October 10, 2012 in News

Two leading Greek unions, Gsee and Abedy – representing respectively private sector and state employees – have called a 24-hour general strike next Thursday, October 18, to coincide with a European summit in Brussels, local media reported citing union sources.
The strike was called to protest against new austerity measures requested by the troika (EU, ECB and IMF) which the Greek government is about to approve. ‘We want the government to abstain from imposing these horrible measures which have brought so much poverty’, said Ilias Iliopoulos, secretary general of Adedy.

    Obvious that all three posts by “Anonymous” and “mathematics” are the same person, but although the public sector needs cutting, starving people is not the answer. They have the right to protest.
