For the second time in one week, Greek unions held a strike aimed at new austerity measures proposed by the government. The Greek Finance Minister is pushing another bailout, and saying that if they do not accept the conditions soon, they will have to leave the euro. Unions say that the proposed cuts, to pay and benefits are harming the people who have already been most effected.
