Greece to strike again
Greece’s main labour unions called a 24-hour strike for 8 July yesterday in protest against sweeping pension reforms to help end a debt crisis. It will be the sixth joint stoppage this year by Greece’s main public and private sector unions, which together represent about 2.5m workers, or half the Greek workforce. Private sector union GSEE said the strike would coincide with a vote in parliament on pension reform, part of a package agreed in return for a €110bn EU/IMF bailout.
