bankruptcy and states saving the common currency but when it comes to cutting costs it seems your kratz and brussels aren't too keen on making sacrifices themselves are spot on tests are still you has more. this is become a familiar sight in the streets of europe symptomatic of the euro crisis and now it seems that the tide of discontent is rising within the plush halls of the vast european commission bureaucracy the. staff unions are threatening to go on strike after rejecting a proposal by the commission or the e.u. civil service to save a one billion euros over seven years by reducing pensions increasing working hours from thirty seven point five to forty a week raising the retirement age limiting pay rises and cutting five percent of jobs but you know they get a one point eight three rise. and they say it's a union representing lower paid staff says the media tends to lump them with the fat cats who get most of the e.u. gravy train he wants the highest salaries of those at the top to be slashed instead the commissioners have privileges which the normal stopped in time. do not contri
