Thousands of Greek workers have mobilized against runaway energy and fuel prices in recent weeks. Although spiking fuel and energy prices are now a global phenomenon tied to inflation driven by corporate profiteering and blowback from failed sanctions against Russia, the crisis has been particularly acute for Greece due to EU-imposed privatization of its energy sector. TRNN reports from the ground as workers fight to increase stagnating wages in light of the cost of living crisis. This video is part of a special Workers of the World series on the cost of living crisis in Europe.

Greece is being oppressed.
Buhaaaaaaaa save your Ukraine
Buhaaaaaaaa
Ummmmm, is it possible that Greeks keep sending leftists to government??!!! Einstein defined "stupidity" as doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. If you don't like the results of socialism, STOP VOTING FOR THEM!!!
CAPITALISM doing what it is designed to do…. SCREW THE WORKING PEOPLE THROUGH EXPLOITATION
Capitalism is the THE CANCER of society
The EU is a cancer.
Me thinketh Making America Great Again., at the expense of…….the Rest of the World!@!?😜😝🤪😎
Get rid of your Politicians before these traitors starve you to death. You never find out how much under table money they get from the USA. Working for the evil Empire.
Greece made big mistake joining the EU
Gov created this probllem. Only one way to fix it…. more government!
Consider $100 billion already sent to the Ukraine, there must be some loose change available for Greece in the near future
Need to fight back against this carbon dioxide causing global warming!!! The war on gas and oil is causing much of this inflation.
I dont watch TV but thats funny schit
ΚΚΕ= φασίστες
Communists out! You are not working class.
The global energy spike and food inflation has been deliberately engineered. There are hundreds of oil producers, for instance, yet we are told that the Ukraine-Russia conflict has caused spiralling prices the world over. The latest profit statements from the major oil companies are absolutely staggering, yet fuel is double or more everywhere. It is By Design.
You had a similar video last week with France. Can you please replace the subtitles with voiceovers?
What you silly people should do is stop sanctions to Russia 😊
We closed our power stations to put windmills and solar shit farms and the IMF among every other central bank in the world had been 'printing money', thus creating inflation for more than a decade, so now everybody is paying a lot more taxes than before, which is destroying the economy and benefits only the state, but somehow the private sector is always the problem and more state is always the answer everyone….
We need to pay MORE TAXES and have MORE GOVERNMENT because CApiTaliSm FAileD!
By 2030 youll own nothing and be "happy"
This will never stop until the WEF and their government puppets are stopped
COME ON MAN but your restarunts charge 850 bucks for two drinks and a crab leg you can afford the high cost with those charges
Cheap gas stop coming from Russia stop well done Ursula
Do not feel sorry for them at all would be a good thing if the hole EU just went broke for any good it has done sheep will follow
