<p>ATHENS, Greece &mdash; Greek labor unions are calling a 24-hour general strike for next week to protest proposed legislation which they say will jeopardize worker rights.</p>
<p>Public and private sector unions said they would join the strike set for June 10. The work stoppage is expected to disrupt services and transportation throughout the day.</p>
<p>The unions say a bill proposed by Greece’s center-right government would make it more difficult for strikes to be called and would threaten such labor protections as the country’s eight-hour workday and having Sundays as a non-working day.</p>
<p>The Greek government has said the proposed changes are designed to modernize labor legislation that has remained largely unchanged for decades and would not threaten the eight-hour workday. </p>
