Athens University, NTUA staff vote to defy court order, continue strike

The decision makes it extremely unlikely that the examination period and classes at the two largest universities in the country will begin on Tuesday, while groups of students supporting their struggle continue to occupy some NTUA departments.
The administrative staff launched their long-term strike in protest against the government’s plans to slash staffing levels at the two universities by including roughly half the workforce into the labour reserve schemes designed to downsize the public sector payroll cost and ultimately lay off some of the workforce.
The fate of the strike now will largely be determined by the decision reached by the Council of State, Greece’s supreme administrative court, which is due to hear a case for the suspension of the labour reserve measure in the next few days.
