Greek municipal workers have called a strike over election work, which they say they are paid less for than other employees. Greece will vote on June 17 in a national election, which could have far-reaching implications for the country's future. In the first national election on May 6, parties that supported austerity and cuts were voted down in many cases. The union will hold its strike on June 16 and 17, and will not perform any work leading up to that point. The government says that it will ensure that the elections are not disrupted.
