Why work when you can be a slave to art ? In Greece it translates into "Why work when you can go on strike " finance.yahoo.com ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Workers across Greece walked off the job Tuesday at the start of a 48-hour general strike as lawmakers debate a new round of austerity reforms, which must be passed if the country is to get crucial bailout funds. More than 5,000 police were to guard Athens' city center, as thousands of protesters hold a rally outside Parliament, chanting anti-austerity slogans. Another demonstration is scheduled to start later in the morning. Everyone from doctors and ambulance drivers to casino workers and even actors at a state-funded theater are set to join the two-day strike or hold work stoppages for several hours. Hundreds of flights were canceled or rescheduled as air traffic controllers walked off the job for four hours from 8 a.m. Another walkout is expected in the evening. There were further disruptions as public transport workers joined the strike, snarling traffic across the capital, while protesters blockaded the port of Piraeus.
