The General Confederation of Workers of Greece (GSEE) will carry out a protest at the European Union's offices in Athens on Tuesday morning, in the framework of the European mobilisation of trade unions.

The mobilisations will heighten with a European demonstration in Luxembourg against the "austerity policy" and with the slogan "Social Europe with fair salaries-investments and employment for all."

GSEE has declared a 48-hour general strike on the days that the mid-term programme will be discussed and ratified in Parliament.
