Greece's main labour unions called on Monday for massive turnout in a 48 hour strike this week which they said could help overthrow the austerity policies imposed by international lenders as the price for a bailout.
ADEDY, the public sector union representing half a million civil servants and its private sector equivalent GSEE, which represents 2 million workers, have called the two-day stoppage to coincide with a vote in parliament which the government must win to avert the threat of immediate default.
