Greek unions call general strike for June 28, 29


The country's largest labor union called for a 48-hour general strike for June 28 and 29 to protest the bills and press demands for a change in policy by the country's Socialist government.

A default by the country could drag down Greek and European banks, endanger the finances of other weak eurozone countries such as Portugal, Ireland and Spain, and potentially spark turmoil in global markets.
