Greek public sector come to standstill due 24-hr strike

Greece’s public sector has come to a standstill, as civil servants have called a 24-hour strike on Thursday, protesting against the new labor law changes.
Doctors and nurses at state hospitals also participated in the walk-out.
The proposed bill would allow full-time employees to get a part-time second job and work up to 13 hours a day unless certain terms apply such as conflict of interest. It also enables employers to implement a six-day working week if needed.
According to the bill, an employee can be fired within the first year of work without warning or remuneration, unless agreed otherwise.
“We demand the bill’s withdrawal,” said civil servants’ union ADEDY.
