GREECE: Striking Greek public school teachers marched in protest through central Athens today as tensions grew between unions and the right-wing government over workers’ rights.

The 24-hour strike was called by Greece’s civil servants’ union ADEDY, taking over from teaching unions after the government tried to block the action in court.

Unions are pressing for the restoration of rights that were significantly rolled back during successive international bailouts between 2010 and 2018.
