ATHENS, Greece—More than 1,500 steelworkers, other unionists and their families rallied Dec. 4 in front of the Elliniki Halivourgia steel mill in Aspropyrgos outside the city here. Workers went on strike Oct. 31 against the company’s attempt to reduce the workday to five hours, which means a 40 percent pay cut. The workers are demanding that 16 workers who were fired at the beginning of December as well as 34 previously fired be rehired.
