News Summary: Greece's workforce starts to crack

News Summary: Greeks going unpaid as jobs vanish, president warns of 'societal explosion'

NO-PAY DAYS: Not only are Greece's 1.35 million unemployed unable to make ends meet, but a growing number of those in work are struggling as more and more companies can no longer make regular salary payments.

TAXING TIMES: As well finding it harder to feed, heat and clothe themselves and their families, Greek workers also have to pay increasingly hefty taxes the government is relying on to turn the economy around.

DARK ROAD AHEAD? Union and independent analysts are worried Greece will face further years of economic struggle and protest as too many demands are placed on a shrinking workforce.
