Two-day general strike against latest austerity measures

Greece

The ADEDY civil service and GSEE private sector confederations organised another general strike on 7 and 8 February in protest against the latest austerity proposals to come from the troika of the International Monetary Fund, European Commission and European Central Bank. The new measures include a 22% cut in the minimum wage, 15% cut to supplementary pensions and a further cut of 15,000 public sector jobs. The attacks on workers’ rights and social dialogue have been taken up by the ETUC and the ITUC global confederation.

Day of action and two-day strike against austerity

Greece

The member organisations of the ADEDY civil service confederation will be taking part in a week of action and a two-day strike against the latest austerity measures being imposed on the public sector. The health sector is under particular pressure following a 25% budget cut in the last two years while some 25000 civil servants are being put into a relocation pool on reduced pay while waiting to find out if they will be relocated or finally dismissed. A further 4000 are set to lose their jobs by the end of the year. [Read more at > ADEDY (GR)->http://www.adedy.gr/adedy/site/home/ws.csp] [And at
