Greek public sector workers go on secand strike in Week

Greek public sector workers went on a 48-hour strike for the second time in a week on Tuesday. Schools were shut and hospitals left with skeleton staff, Reuters reported. ADEDY, the public sector umbrella union which organized the walkout, described government efforts to reduce the 600,000-strong civil service as "the most merciless plan" to eliminate workers’ rights. Meanwhile, the EU, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank representatives were due to visit Administrative Reform Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Tuesday to check if Greece was meeting its bailout targets.
