| Caption | Hellenic Halyvourgia, Aspropyrgos Industrial Zone, Athens, April 2012. The administration of the Greek Coal-Steel industry (Hellenic Halyvourgia) decided to reduce working hours and cut salaries in an effort to counterbalance losses generated by the economic crisis. In October 2011, 36 lay-offs were announced with a view of firing another 180 workers, leading to a solidarity strike that lasted 272 days (ending July 26th, 2012), the longest strike ever recorded in Greek history. |
