The civil servants’ union ADEDY is planning a 24-hour strike during the coming days to protest the government’s continuing austerity program, sources indicated on Monday, ANA reports.
Among the demands discussed by the union’s executive committee are rises to civil servants’ wages, which have been cut several times over the past eight years, the revocation of recent laws overhauling the Greek pension system, the abolition of plans to further reduce the tax-free threshold for those on low incomes and the cancelation of a program aimed at evaluating civil servants.
No dates were announced for the strike, which is likely to affect public services.
