Athens, Greece. 21/10/2010
Journalists and other people working in the "Kathimerini" struggle to save the famous Greek newpaper from bankrupcy and closing. The workers said that a 58 years historical newspaper (its birthday was yesterday) can't close in a day.
They blame the newspaper owner Kostas Saradopoulos as the only one responsible for the paper's problem and for the fact that the workers are not paid for over 4 months. They had taken over the offices of the paper and went on a 48 hour strike wanting their money and to keep their jobs. They are determined to keep struggling and want the solidarity of the Greek society.
Representatives from the Eleftheros Typos a follow newspaper who had problems many months ago said that they will help their colleagues as they had the same problems and know the difficulties. Together they said they will struggle till they win.
Tomorrow the "Kathimerini" workers will gather at the offices of the newspaper at 12pm and march towards the newspaper worker union (ESIEA) wanting their support.
