After a month of strike the workers of Elite, the country's second biggest shoe producing industry have stepped up their struggle by occupying the company's main factory in Athens. The workers are demanding immediate payment of salaries since November and transparency over the fate of the company (which despite rising profits is threatening them with closure, in order to move the capital towards its retail branch).
farmers... have already set up 7 blockades on the national highway system hampering cross-country traffic, in some places to a complete standstill. And this is only the start, a warning move in anticipation of the real thing starting on Monday when tractors are expected to be brought out in a massive "dynamic mobilisation".
