GREECE ground to a standstill today as workers staged a 24-hour stoppage over a deepening crisis of low wages and rising prices, while also condemning involvement in the war in Ukraine.

The strike was called by the country’s two largest unions, representing 2.5 million people in the public and private sector. 

“For the last 14 years, workers have been carrying the burden of a deep crisis that has affected everyone’s incomes and lives,” the private-sector GSEE union said.
