Europe's megastrike

Hi! 

Listen to this video from the CNN about the strike going on in Europe, not just our country. Answer this question: 
  • What are the reasons they give to strike? 
  • Concentrate on the words related to striking: demonstration, strike...
If we don't do something, who will?

The reasons are the rising taxes, increasing unemployments and the reduccions in general.

Hi Miriam!

That's a good answer. How about "wages are shrinking by as much as 40%" in Greece; pensions are cut up in half and in Spain people demonstrated against cuts in health and education.

People then "took to the streets", they stroke against rising poverty...

PS "unemployment" is uncountable.
