Strike shuts down Greece before austerity voteA massive general strike brought Greece to a standstill on Wednesday and thousands of angry protesters took to the streets, while parliament prepared to vote on deep public sector cuts and riot police braced for violence.Protesters began massing outside parliament as the day began and groups of workers assembled at rallying points throughout the capital before a mass demonstration later in the day.Beleaguered Prime Minister George Papandreou has appealed for support from Greeks ahead of a vote later on Wednesday on tax hikes, wage cuts and layoffs demanded by international lenders who have been pressing Athens for tougher action.Unions who have called a general strike to coincide with the vote say they expect one of the biggest labour actions in the two years since the start of Greece's financial crisis, which now threatens to spread across Europe's single currency zone. more from daily news »
