Athens re-hires laid off public workers as it seeks more cash help

2015-05-08 37 Dailymotion

Greece is defying its international creditors and re-hiring thousands of public sector workers, including cleaners. <br /><br /> A law has been passed which will see thousands of people, laid off under cuts, being given jobs. <br /><br /> The move comes as Athens looks to secure more desperately needed financial aid. <br /><br /> “We won’t go beyond the limits of our red lines,“ he said. “It’s clear that we cannot cut pensions.”<br /><br /> Athens is running out of cash but has dragged its feet on accepting unpopular reforms promised by a previous government.<br /><br /> Negotiations have moved so slowly that the lenders have ruled out an agreement at next Monday’s meeting of eurozone finance ministers.
