Greece: EU demands for more cuts provoke general strike call
GREEK trade unions have called a general strike for tomorrow as parliament considers European Union-dictated cuts stretching into the next decade.
MPs began a four-day debate yesterday on whether to submit to the latest round of Brussels austerity demands in return for the banking bailout agreed in 2015.
The proposed measures include additional pension cuts in 2019 and income tax rises in 2020, along with further attacks on workers’ rights and social security and declaring Sunday a work day.
