GENERAL STRIKE SET FOR TUESDAY 16th JULY 2013

A general strike has been called by the big public unions for Tuesday 16th July.  This coincides with parliament debating the latest multi bill to cover more austerity measures imposed by the Troika, which has to be passed for the govt to receive it's next tranche of bailout money.  On the list of measures is the long awaited reduction of Public Sector Workers.... and so, a General Strike.

KTEL long distance buses will still be operating and so far, the Air Traffic Controllers have not said they will be participating.  All municipal services are likely to be suspended until the Multi-Bill has been passed by Parliament.
