Oliver Roethig, Regional Secretary of UNI Europa said: ‘We stand by our Greek affiliates who have been hit hard by the EU austerity policies but also by the Toika’s attack on labour and social rights.

UNI Europa and its affiliates appeal to the EU to find a solution that puts the wellbeing of the Greek people first.’
