[01] Athens universities staff defy court order, prompt investigation

The universities' administrative staff voted on Monday to continue strike action, adopting their unions' proposal for another five-day strike this week, in defiance of a Friday court ruling declaring their labour action abusive and illegal.

The staff launched their long-term strike to protest government plans to slash staffing levels at the two universities by including roughly half the workforce into a transfer or gradual layoff scheme, part of a greater effort to downsize the public sector.

The strikes have created problems in registration at universities across Greece, and raised the possibility that students may lose a semester by the cancellation of the exam period.
