The Greek government has launched a redundancy plan for several thousand civil servants, a measure stipulated by the latest memorandum signed with the IMF-EU-ECB troika.
The first to be shown the door will be those who lost a court appeal when they were laid off by the terms of a previous memorandum signed in 2010. By the end of June, 3,000 people will have their jobs cut, and 12,500 will have been short-listed for redundancy, explains To Ethnos.
The daily adds that under the terms of the government’s agreement with the troika, 150,000 to 200,000 civil servants will be laid off between now and 2015.
