Brussels, 15/07/2013
In a letter sent to the Presidents of GSEE and ADEDY, Bernadette Ségol, General Secretary of the ETUC, expressed full support for the general strike on 16 July to protest against the lay-off of thousands of public servants in Greece as a consequence of the unilateral measures imposed by the Troika.
“We oppose those measures imposed by the Troika without any consideration for their dramatic social consequences. These measures will only exacerbate poverty and inequality, and are leading to growing opposition rather than to constructive solutions” said Bernadette Ségol.
