Anti-Austerity Strikes Hit Greece

Two largest unions call for workers to strike for 24 hours

Greece is in the grip of yet another national strike. Much of the country is at a standstill.

The two biggest unions called the 24-hour stoppage to protest against existing austerity measures, and those to come.

Thousands gathered before the parliament in Athens to deliver their message that the belt-tightening policies will only deepen hardship that is already severe.
