Labour demonstrations are taking place in central Athens today, to mark May Day. General Confederation of Greek Workers and Civil servants' Union Federation along with primary labour unions, local community and left wing political groups among others, take the streets as uncertainty has become the single unifying characteristic of working life under austerity.
PAME union, affiliated with the Communist Party of Greece will gather outside  Hellenic Halyvourgia's  factory in Aspropyrgos, where steel workers have been on strike for approximately 6 months.
