Revelation 6:5,6 NCV When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse, and its rider held a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard something that sounded like a voice coming from the middle of the four living creatures. The voice said, "A quart of wheat for a day's pay, and three quarts of barley for a day's pay, and do not damage the olive oil and wine!"
Greek transportation workers are facing a threat of arrest in light of an eight-day strike that has crippled commerce in the country.
Over half a million Greek workers have been unable to get to work because of the stoppage of the city’s underground system. Union workers have been stating that they will defy the threat and even “step up” strike action.
Unions are objecting to the government’s austerity measures in an attempt to get the nation’s debt crisis under control. Government worker pay will be cut 25% under the latest round of policies.
The head of the Athens metro worker’s union is making violent threats.
“We are protesting and if they fire people let them come,” he told reporters. “They will take us dead from here.”
Greek workers last went on strike on May 5, when protesters threw petrol bombs at a bank in Athens, killing three employees, in the worst violence the country saw since riots in 2008.
