Explained in plain English

Can Greek workers strike in solidarity?

Yes, Greek law permits solidarity strikes, allowing workers to support other groups, like students, even if they aren't directly involved in the dispute. This is why teachers could legally join the students' protest over education costs, highlighting a broader dissatisfaction with economic conditions and government policy.
