Garbage was piled high on Athens streets as trash collectors rallied in the capital against government plans to outsource state services

ATHENS - Greek garbage collectors marched peacefully through Athens on Thursday to protest the new conservative government’s plans to further outsource state services.

Public-sector unions were planning more protests in the evening against labor reforms included in the bill, which they say are hurting labor rights and weakening wage bargaining.
