http://www.labourstart.org/cgi-bin/solidarityforever/show_campaign.cgi?c=1231 On Thursday 24 November 2011, the Greek police
arrested Nikos Photopoulos, President of the power workers' union GENOP/DEI,
along with more than a dozen of his fellow trade unionists. They will appear in
court on Tuesday 10 January 2012 to face charges that could see them jailed for
up to five years. They were protesting against part of the Greek austerity
measures - the cutting off of power to people unable or unwilling to pay a new,
swingeing property tax, levied regardless of income or wealth. Greek trade union
confederation GSEE, is calling for the charges to be dropped. Act NOW !! at http://www.labourstart.org/cgi-bin/solidarityforever/show_campaign.cgi?c=1231 more back ground at http://www.tuc.org.uk/international/tuc-20450-f0.cfm
