Strikes hit Greece as crisis enters decisive week

Strikes hit Greece as crisis enters decisive week:

ATHENS, Greece — Strikes halted ferries to the Greek islands and left rotting trash piling up in Athens for the 16th straight day Monday, as unions fought back against more austerity cuts at the start of a crucial week for both Greece and the 17-nation eurozone.

Tax collectors and customs officers also walked off the job and protesting civil servants occupied the finance and labor ministry buildings in the Greek capital.
