Unleash The Angry Greek Cleaning Ladies...

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It would appear there is only so much the Greek people will stand for. With a fragile coalition increasingly tilting to a more euro-skeptic (give us more money or else) perspective, the cleaning ladies of Greece have exploded onto the streets with great vengeance and furious rebukes at the riot police. The reason for this chaos - they were asked to clean up this mess in the finance ministry...

 

 

As RuptlyTV notes,

Janitorial staff in Athens obstructed the entrance to the Ministry of Finance on Tuesday. Riot police attempted to push the cleaners away but were unable to move them.

 

The cleaners have been running a campaign of civil disobedience since the Ministry of Finance formally dismissed between 400 and 600 cleaning staff last month. The cleaners had already been suspended from work last year in preparation for the move.

 

Despite the Greek Supreme Court finding the mass layoffs illegal, the ruling has not been accepted by the government.

Perhaps someone should tell them the Greek stock market is up and bond yields are very low... we are sure that will appease whatever angst caused this... aside from the record unemployment, soaring taxes, record suicide rates, and record emigration.

This is a mess the IMF and ECB wont be able to clean up

Im surprised they didnt just bomb these ladies to death like we just saw in Ukraine yesterday

In the old days the revolutions were a lot easier.  Now with drones and bombs a few bankers can hold back millions

What's wrong with these people? If they'd loaded up on SPY they could be sipping Ouzo by the pool by now. 

They only have themselves to blame.

I agree - that's the problem with these fucking lower class types - always complaining, never taking action to fix their situation.  Too fucking lazy to log onto their trading account and put in a fucking buy order.

If they liquidate their cleaning supplies and pool their cash they will be able to open a mutual fund on the Doucherbank trading platform.

I hear if you have both public and private sector hands in your pocket you get a courtesy reach around.

I hate to nitpick, Ms Cosmos, but isn't "foreplay before" somewhat tautologous?

It's one of the beauties of modern western culture. I believe Guys do it for self preservation and some ass. That's the way it is now, at least in certain circles  You have to be either Metro or straightup gay to be with the in crowd. What their Women don't understand is those type guys will save their own ass in the end and leave them hanging.

So, the government has no money, and they cannot lay off any government workers?

I guess just pull a California and pay everyone with transferable IOUs?

The Greek High Court can decide whatever it likes but the ultimate court of Appeal is the TROIKA.

Someone tell these women that their nation's sovereignty was exchanged for an amount to bail out foreign banks.

"give us more money or else"??? Really?!?

Have we forgotten that that 'money' has only gone to bail out the banks that lent it... same as the Fed has been doing here in the States... same as it has always done... remember during the Clinton era? Same game, only bigger and more expansive. Has to be, we are dealing the last hand of the game...

They were laid off because the ministry feared that they would clean up the financial mess better than they do. A new proposal by the ministry would unleash unlimited development of the coastal areas turning Greece into a new Costa Brava and destroying vital ecosystems. They also want to forbid open markets where people sell and buy produce cutting out the middle men. The same bastards are still ruling that country.

How much office space requires 600 cleaners? Let's say a cleaner cleans 100 square feet an hour; that puts us at ~500,000 square feet per day, maybe 4 million square feet in a week. So, at that rate, the Pentagon probably needs like 1000 janitors. Anyone have any better estimates?
