Greek workers shut down country in general strike

GREEK workers held yet another general strike yesterday, protesting against the latest imposition of government cuts to satisfy international creditors linked to the bailout of foreign banks.

Transport, state schools, ferries and national rail services were largely disrupted, while public hospitals operated on emergency staffing.

Private-sector workers were also involved in well-supported strike action for the first time in months.
