The leaders of Greece's two biggest unions, ADEDY (civil servants) and GSEE (public and private sector workers), cancelled the protest march to Syntagma Square, which is in front of parliament. They said it was because of the weather.
The Communist party-led union PAME and other unions respectively held separate protest marches, joined by those members of ADEDY and GSEE who did not pay much attention to their leaders or the rain.
