The civil servants union federation ADEDY along with the General Confederation of Employees of Greece (GSEE), are getting ready to hold a nationwide strike in late September/early October to protest further wage and pension cuts as well as scheduled layoffs in the public sector.
ADEDY says that these actions will disable public services and demolish all that remains of the social welfare state. The union has urged public-sector workers to organise a variety of protest actions and rallies while it also planning to organise labor demonstrations on the day that the measures are announced all over the country.
