Jamie Galbraith is an ardent supporter of Syriza and a friend of the likely finance minister, who will be in the thick of talks with Eurozone powers. In a generally informative interview, Galbraith says:
"We're talking also about questions about regulations governing the labor market. There might be some negotiating room there. For instance, there's a provision in Greek law, dating from the time of Andreas Papandreou, which limited the fraction of your labor force that you can lay off at any given time. That provision is hard to maintain when a large fraction of your businesses are going bankrupt. So there's some negotiating room about labor market rules." http://economistsview.typepad.com/economistsview/2015/01/the-prospects-and-consequences-of-a-possible-syriza-government.html _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
