Greece - Confederations plan to continue strike action - April 29, 2010

The major union confederations for the public and private sectors, ADEDY and GSEE, have scheduled a 24-hour strike for 5 May, stressing that this year's May Day sees both the employees and the Greek society having come up against an unprecedented attack on their key and fundamental social rights. In the meantime, the Hellenic Union of Radio Technicians has been on a 48-hour strike since Wednesday 26 April. The primary school teachers' association has called for four-hour work stoppages starting from 3 May and a 48-hour strike on 4 and 5 May.
