| Subject: Idiots: Greek labour unions instigate fresh general strike against austerity Wed Feb 20, 2013 3:09 am | |
| Greece is being hit by the first general strike of 2013 as workers renew their protest over austerity measures.
The 24-hour strike is forcing the closure of schools and state-run offices and leaving hospitals working with emergency staff.
The strike has been called by Greece's two biggest labour unions, representing half the four million-strong workforce.
It comes days before international lenders are due in Athens to discuss the next instalment of a bailout.
The debt-ridden country is being kept afloat by billions of euros from other eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund.
In return, the government has imposed waves of unpopular spending cuts and tax rises, hitting pay and pensions and sending unemployment soaring to more than 26%.
Strikes and violent protests have become commonplace.
