Greek government orders striking seamen back to work
The Greek government ordered striking seamen back to work after they extended their week-long strike by 48 hours, accusing them of depriving the country's islands of food and medical supplies.
Greek workers walked off the job Wednesday for the first general strike since the country's coalition government was formed in June, as the prime minister and finance minister hammered out a package of C11.5 billion in essential spending cuts.
