Truck drivers in Greece told they must return to work

Thursday 29th July, 2010
The Greek government, using a rare law, has ordered truck drivers back to work.
The back to work order was issued only hours after negotiations between the government and the drivers, who have been on a three day strike, broke down.
The drivers could face arrest and the loss of their licences if they are not back on the roads by next week to supply fuel stations and other essential services.
With shops and factories running low on supplies, the Greek government invoked the emergency provision, which is usually reserved for war or natural disaster.
The drivers have been on strike in opposition to government plans to open the industry to more competition.  Email this story to a friend

Greek truck drivers ordered back to work
My 3 year old is in Greece right now. How is he going to get his milk. Is the economy of Greece (or what’s left of it) just going to implode? 1st week of Aug. what a great idea, again. Lets bring Greece to its knees right now so we can sustain the 40 yr. monopoly on trucking; what a great demand. Send out the military, we mean business, lives are at stake here.
