The CGTP union called the week of action in protest against the government dragging its heels in introducing a 35-hour week for all civil servants. Sporadic strike action is also being planned.
Unions are also calling for improved working conditions and have said that despite recent concessions by the leftist government, there are still many battles to be fought until workers regain rights they lost in recent years.
That's a great idea! Lets get the economy going by cutting workers weekly hours to 35. Better yet if you only want to work 35 hour per week, you should have your salary reduced to coincide with the reduced productivity.
