Feb. 19 (Bloomberg) — Greek motorists lined up at gas stations as fuel stocks dwindled while a strike by customs workers over government austerity measures stretched into a fourth day, hurting imports and exports.
The Federation of Greek Customs Workers called a three-day strike on Feb. 16 and decided yesterday to extend the action by six days to protest government austerity measures aimed at trimming Europe’s biggest budget deficit.
Greece is once again “hostage to strikes by powerful labor union groups,†the National Federation of Greek Commerce said in an e-mailed statement. The strike is “catastrophic†for the country’s trade and industry as well as shipping, food and transport companies and the Greek consumer, said the Athens- based organization, which represents Greek commerce groups.
ARE THESE UNIONS ABSOLUTELY OUT OF THEIR MINDS????

You can pick & choose all kinds of figures & I don’t think they really matter so much as the sentiment. Our culture gets its priorities bassackwards. Tiger Woods should just be known as an athlete & we wouldn’t give a moment’s notice to his infidelity. Firemen who save people’s lives are heroes – football players & cheesy film actors aren’t. It’s probably salient that Sully has a happy marriage. Accept the spirit of the thought, not the statistics.
P.S. Snappy – It *is* the season of crucifixions…
Yes, my daughter is 25. I think most folks know that my daughter has MS, the onset of which caused her to delay her graduation from college. She returned to college and I have to pay for her insurance, since she is past the age at which my emploeyer will carry her.
She just graduated college, and I am looking forward to her getting a job!!
DIBS, the asian male patrons were not lookers. doubt they had much latino talent in the kitchen either. so if the food wasn’t great, no reason for you to be there ever
