Civil disobedience and workers unrest are growing in Greece

Since last Wednesday the workers of the shipyards of Elefsina, outside Athens, are on strike demanding from the companies to sign an agreement that are not going to decrease any wages. All companies signed the agreement with the exception of Siemens and DECO. Yesterday people from Siemens called individually workers in their homes telling them that it is going to be a bus in the square of Elefsina to pick them up and bring them to work, breaking the strike and workers’ blockade of the shipyard. Eventually, out of more than 100 workers hardly 10 turned up in the square and the bus did not cross the blockade. But in front of the shipyards at the moment there are a Siemens manager, 4 patrol cars with police and an attorney general threatening the workers to open the blockade and go to work. The workers decide that the strike will not end until Siemens signs the agreement.
