Greek strike halts flights
Greek public sector ADEDY has called another strike today, and asked its members to march to Parliament, where lawmakers will be voting on retirement rules. Air traffic controllers and doctors are among those who are taking place in today's strike. The Greek Parliament voted to raise the retirement age and overhaul the pension system last week. The reforms are part of a deal that the country made with the IMF and the European Union in return for a loan. Unions say that they will continue protesting.
