The deadline is nearing for the Greek parliament to decide whether to accept mandatory austerity measures and receive an EU bailout…or risk defaulting on sovereign debt. The unions are voicing their opinion with a strike. “Workers across Greece walked off the job Tuesday at the start of a 48-hour general strike as lawmakers debate a new round of austerity reforms designed to win the country additional rescue loans needed to avoid bankruptcy.” There won’t be long to wait. The vote is due on Thursday at the latest.
