GSEE

Greece's main labor unions have called for a general strike on Wednesday to protest the rising cost of living and demand better wages and collective agreements.

The country’s main labor unions are planning demonstrations in the capital and other major cities on Sunday to protest a planned vote in Parliament on the budget for 2015.

ADEDY, the civil servants’ union, complained on Wednesday that the budget would lead Greeks into “further deprivation” and would “perpetuate austerity and poverty.”
