As the truckers strike in Greece continues against the government decision to end the closed shop agreement the average Greek citizen suffers. Grocery shops are stripped of basic food lines and most large retailers have totally empty dairy, meat, frozen and other fresh food fridges. A visit to a Lidl store in Messini the other day brought home the truth, besides no food basics there was little on the shelves. Even toiletries, paperware and cleaning materials were stripped.
One can partly sympathise with the truckers that may have spent thousands of euros on obtaining their truck licenses, but "free trade" must rule to benefit the majority. Too long have closed shops in Greece existed in too many trades, the Greek mentality must change, a fair days work for a fair days pay and pay your dues. Get back to work and make your country GREAT again !
