The three trade union confederations organised a strongly supported general strike on 15 December. The action came following the massive national demonstration in November and regional strikes on 1 and 8 December. The unions are protesting at the austerity measures proposed by the government including an increase in the retirement age, cuts to social benefits and freezes of public sector pay.
