Greek trains, ferries and taxis were halted on Wednesday as thousands of workers, including teachers and seafarers, marched to parliament in Athens in a one-day general strike against labour reforms and a government plan to allow employers to extend working hours. Public sector workers say the government should increase wages instead. "This bill only extends the exploitation of workers, smashes labour rights and our families' incomes," said Veta Papoutsakou, 65, a public sector union representative.
