Greek Power Workers Union

http://twitter.com/energyunions Our Greek colleagues of the Power Workers Union have won a small battle with the government. The government had wanted to use the Public Power Company to collect property tax of the people. The Company being one of the functioning institutions. However the union has made it clear that PPC is not the tax collectors office. It occupied the head offices and forced the government to back off. The union argued its members would not cooperate to disconnect people from electricity for not paying their property tax. The union also made a forceful statement against the privatisation of parts of the energy company.
