Better beware!

Hey, let's strike again. Why not! Now that we've got a bit of tourism coming in let's make a mess of it all again and leave them waiting at their hometown airports. Let's show everyone how angry we are while depriving ourselves of the one thing we thought we could count on. Tourism.

Let's cut some electricity and water...yeahaw, that 'll teach 'm.

Great opportunity to show the world we don't want to work more than 30 years. Fantastic way to let everyone know we deserve 14 months pay a year. I mean, we are talking about 30 percent of the Greek population. One in three Greeks is in government services, so, hell yeah, we are talking about a huge minority of Greece's population stinking up the place for everyone.

With the world press looking over our shoulders, strikes will show the EU where their money is going. The Germans, the Dutch, the French, all of our European friends will definitely understand that the Greek blue collars have such a tiring life they should be allowed to stop working at 53 where the rest of Europe keeps going for another 12 years. Of course, they are happy to pay for that. Now would this same problem occur, for example, in The Netherlands we would be talking about a mere 10 percent of the population since only one in 10 is government employed. They wouldn't be able to lame a whole country. They wouldn't be able to let hardworking people in tourism suffer every day by taking their bread straight from the mouth. What unlucky people they are. How sad, these Dutch, they can't get anything done. How about those poor Germans that voluntarily took pay-cuts to save a fellow worker - or was it the French?  Anyway, guess they couldn't paralyze their country either. Pathetic. Better here, better strike.  But....

One day our fellow Greeks, who work extremely hard in farming or retail or tourism, who put in a sad 10 to 12 hours a day, seven days a week for two thirds of the money, who have to beg for their Christmas bonus, who are the real majority, one day they shall rise, too. One day they will say: enough of this. And on this day you better get out of their way, 'cause their wrath will be humongous and their revenge will be bittersweet.

You better beware!
