Greek Workers to Protest Further Austerity

Greek workers are set to take to the streets of Athens to voice their anger at the high levels of unemployment and any further austerity. The protest comes a few days after the government submitted its revised budget plan for 2015 to the Greek parliament for negotiation.

The budget, which included no new austerity measures, predicts full-year unemployment for 2014 at 24.8 percent, the lowest since 2012. But with around 1.3 million people out of work and without accounting for a further 3.3 million Greeks who are economically inactive or under flexible forms of work, it is no surprise that Greek workers cannot see an improvement.
