This may be harsh but it's about damn time Greece started fixing their financial house. The country cannot continue to subsidize its citizens and grant generous social benefits and expect that they can continuously borrow to pay for everything. They are now BBB credit rating, any country even considering lending them money should demand a change in the social structure which brought about Greece's collapse. They brought it upon themselves with over socialization and lying to the EU/World about see more real debt/gdp numbers. Greece is lucky they don't get kicked out of the EU zone for the massive fraud (as the Germans are starting to call for).

There should be no compensation when firing someone or restrictions on firing people. Companies need to be able to get rid of dead weight. The citizens of Greece need to relearn self responsibility and not to rely on the government or laws to keep a job or ensure you earn a certain level of employment. Greece's "socialize" everything approach now reaps the fruit planted and its citizens need to stop complaining. The list of items listed are more than reasonable, its time for the society to change and stop relying on the Government for their existence.
