Refuse collectors on strike in towns across Greece. * Their union have called for the action to continue for a week, with sit ins at municipality offices and protests until Thursday 29th June. The Central Union of Municipalities of Greece (KEDE) said it would give the government until Tuesday to finalise a proposal aimed at ending the dispute.
