News Summary: More Greek anti-austerity strikes
ANGRY GREEKS: In the latest Greek anti-austerity strikes, state hospital doctors, school teachers and local authority employees walked off the job to protest planned salary and funding cuts under a new $14.7 billion austerity package. About 1,500 retired and serving military officers also marched in protest.
MORE PAIN: The governing coalition, meanwhile, struggled to finalize further spending cuts for the coming two years. Without them, the country will lose its vital rescue loans.
BACKGROUND: Greece has depended since May 2010 on loans from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund. In return, it's cut spending and raised taxes.
