Under the main slogan “STOP the employers\u2019 crimes”, “protection measures here and now” a national strike of workers in local authorities took place with mobilizations in Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras and other cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strike was triggered by the new industrial \u201caccident\u201d in the municipality of Xylokastro, where a 45-year-old worker, mother of 5 children, was killed in the garbage truck she was working. This was a continuation of the dozens of industrial “accidents” that have occurred in recent years in municipalities throughout the country and brought to the surface all the causes and responsibilities of mayors and governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the worker who lost her life in Xylokastro was uninsured, working in conditions of \u201cblack work\u201d, with the responsibility of the municipal authority, which exploiting the known “loopholes” of the laws of all governments “hired” her overdue, when she had already lost her life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Athens, the slogan of the strike was given at dawn by the Attica Local Authorities Workers\u2019 Union, with a symbolic occupation of the offices of the Independent Labour Inspection Authority , where they put up a giant banner on the front of the building.\u00a0“64 workers dead – thousands crippled. Governments – mayors send us to our death – the Labour Inspection absent. All on strike”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
