Greek unions target austerity skeptics
None
Greece was hit by its third general strike in six weeks Tuesday, as its trade union hope to persuade politicians to reject a major new austerity program that will condemn the country to more years of hardship in exchange for continued bailout funding.
Two days of demonstrations are planned to start after 11am Tuesday, continuing until lawmakers vote late Wednesday on the bill to slash €13.5 billion ($17.3 billion) from budget spending over the next two years. (AP)
