Municipal services across Greece ground to a halt on Friday, March 21, as workers launched a 24-hour nationwide strike organized by POE-OTA, demanding permanent jobs for those in ESPA-funded social programs. A protest rally is set for 11 a.m. outside the Ministry of Social Cohesion and Family, with a march to follow. Meanwhile, teachers under OLME will stage a three-hour work stoppage, protesting disciplinary measures tied to evaluations.
