24-hour general strike under way in Greece

A 24-hour general strike is under way in Greece against the Cabinet’s austerity policy. Railway and maritime traffic has come to a halt, and public transport disruptions have been reported.

Doctors, teachers and bank employees have also joined the strike that was organized by the largest national unions and timed for the ongoing talks in Athens between the Cabinet and international moneylenders.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

The people of Greece are sending a message to the world that they will not pay for the financial mistakes of corporations and the criminality of the bankers. We need to listen to them.
