ATHENS, Greece – Greece’s labor minister was due to meet international debt inspectors on Tuesday but the meeting was called off.
The meeting will be held later in the week as Greece’s union, employers and political parties have all opposed suggestions that employment costs could be cut by slashing the minimum wage and private sector pay.
Labor reforms are part of pressing negotiations between Greece and rescue creditors to finalize a second bailout loan agreement, worth 130 billion euros ($170 billion).
