Two main unions on Thursday said they would hold a two-day general strike next week against new austerity cuts by the government to address an unraveling debt crisis that has shaken the eurozone.
The leading GSEE union that represents private sector employees said the strike would be held on October 19 and 20, revising earlier plans for a one-day action.
“Our fight will continue and intensify for as long as these futile and disastrous policies continue,” GSEE said in a statement.
The mobilisation will be supported by Adedy, the country’s second-largest union representing civil servants, a spokesman told.
