Athens: Thousands protested in Greece on Tuesday against a new pension reform as a 24-hour strike paralysed transport and services. Some 10,000 people demonstrated in the capital against the reform, which encourages a longer stay in the workforce, police said.
The labour action brought public transport in Athens as well as intercity trains and ferry ship services to a standstill.
Civil servants also walked off the job and journalists will stage a three-hour work stoppage against the pension reform.
“Everything is going downhill,” Thanassis Grigoropoulos, a municipal sanitation worker, told AFP. “The pensions will be at a lower level and we won’t be able to meet our obligations.”(AFP)
