The Unions have decided to call a general strike (48 hours) in Greece. They are against the economic measures the EU want the Greek Government to take. Voting in Parliament is planned for tomorrow. Banks, airports etc will be struck. (Source: news on Dutch Radio 1).

Re : Msg 1,

Of course they would go on strike.

The hedonistic darlings can not possibly voluntarily abandon their right to retire at 50, with a state pension of 95 per cent of their last working year's earnings, their money nicely hidden in offshore companies in Cyprus, no tax paid on anything.

And all the bills picked up by their dull industrious German cousins, who will retire at 70, and the rest of the annoying family.

Paradise on earth!

If Greece stays in the Euro,it will never be able to pay back the loans.As it cannot de-value,
