[01] Media to hold work stoppage on Wed.
ANA/MPA--Journalists' unions have called a three-hour work stoppage
from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon on Wednesday, the Panhellenic Federation of
Journalists' Union (POESY) said Tuesday.
POESY said the stoppage was part of the 48-hour strike called by the
two largest unions of Greek workers, ADEDY (public sector) and GSEE
(private sector), to protest layoffs. An exception will be made for
journalists covering the strikes and related action.
"We say no to the shutting down of ERT" POESY said, referring to the
former state broadcaster, "we say no to the thousands of layoffs in our
sector, we say no to the planned layoffs of municipal radio stations, we
say no to the gagging of municipal radio." They added that their action
was a fight "against unemployment and for the signing of collective
labour agreements, and for a solution guaranteeing the viability of
insurance and pension funds, which are falling apart."
