Greek workers stage yet another 24-hour nationwide strike
Some one hundred thousand protesters, (a sizable gathering, given only eleven million population) have taken to the streets of
the Greek metropolis, in the biggest and most significant general strike
so far this year. The walkout comes at a time most crucial for both the
government and the country's labor movement. After one of the harshest
winters in the Greek financial insolvency, the Greek labor movement
attempts to re-assert itself, under increasing influence by the main
opposition party SYRIZA, which does not yet control the Greek syndicates
and confederations. Meanwhile, the Greek government continues to
legislate deep austerity reforms in parliament, at the same time
suppressing organized labor reactions as it did recently by conscripting
the Athens subway employees.
These were the only workers not allowed to
take part in this strike. There is a brewing pre-electoral atmosphere
here, insinuated in part by the statement of SYRIZA chief Alexis
Tsipras.

We used to fight for our right to party, now we stand in line to get a permit to protest! What's up with that? Don't worry, you will soon be secure in your delusions, with Zionists controlling amerika and ur-op, banning the likes of press tv and constantly angling to shut down all alternatives. ACTA is one tentacle, SOPA, PIPA, drones, Gitmo, kangaroo family courts, MIT's, banksters...
