Greek public sector workers set to strike over pension reform

Greek civil servants’ union ADEDY has heralded strike action as soon as a bill with the government’s pension reform is tabled in Parliament, ekathimerini.com reports. ADEDY’s executive committee indicated on Thursday that it would proceed with a 24-hour strike on the day the bill goes to the House, in line with a decision adopted during its session last week. The union's key demands are for the revocation of all pension cuts implemented during Greece’s bailout years and a full state guarantee for all pensions, while it is also against the privatization of social insurance in the country.  RELATED TOPICS: Greece, Greek tourism news, Tourism in Greece, Greek islands, Hotels in Greece, Travel to Greece, Greek destinations, Greek travel market, Greek tourism statistics, Greek tourism report Photo Source: pixabay.com Let's block ads!
