However, this does not lead to the vision that a reversal is needed of the IMF and Troika policies that have been applied over the last five years, including the lowering of worker’s protection and cuts in social spending. The paragraph \u003Ci>Unclear effects of collective bargaining\u003C\u002Fi> dedicated to collective bargaining is a mixed soup of neo-liberal wishful thinking and economic reasoning without strong evidence.
