On 27 November, because of the 2015 budget (austerity).

Current opinion polling at Greece puts the political parties at:

ND 25% (conservatives)
SYRIZA 30-35% ("left-wing")
PASOK 5% (social democratic)
XA 5%-8% (Nazis)
KKE 5-7% (Stalinist)

I never can understand what is a purpose of general strike that is limited in time? If I ruled, I'd never care about it. They'll strike one day and the next time the business will be as usual. The only general strike that is logical is unlimited in time.

I thought the combined experience of the supposed opposition would have streamlined the process into a 24 minute general strike. During lunch break obviously.

How much power does the IWW hold outside of the United States? Just curious.
