Kleopatra Kapsahati, a teacher of nursing in the 1st Technical High School of Tyrnavos in Larissa, Greece, passed away on July 27 after she felt unwell when informed that her request to be excluded by from a so-called mobility scheme in which workers would be transferred or fired was rejected and her job was at risk, officials said.
At 6 p.m. while she was at her house, she felt sickness and lost consciousness. She was transferred to hospital where it was reported that she was dead on arrival. No cause was given.
Her name subsequently still appeared in the lists with the names of the teachers that will be suspended, published by the Greek Ministry for Education, despite her death, provoking anger and grief. The government is moving to put 40,000 workers on the list, most of them in lower-paid jobs, including teachers, school nurses, crossing guards and municipal police while managers and Parliament workers have been exempted.
