A 24h general strike will take place today along with marches in Athens, Thessaloniki and other cities across the country. There've been numerous anti-austerity strikes but this one is the first since Lucas Papademos' new coalition government has been appointed. Greece's two major trade union bodies, GSEE (General Confederation of Workers) and ADEDY (Civil Servant's union Federation), the communist backed labour organization PAME and primary unions, are calling workers to demonstrate against the 2012 austerity budget in the context of the broader structural reforms imposed by IMF and EU that strip away workers' rights.
