  Greek and EU flags wave as the temple of Parthenon is seen at the top of the hill of Acropolis in Athens on Wednesday Nov. 7, 2012. Greece's unions are holding their third general strike in six weeks to press dissenters in the country's troubled coalition government not to back a major new austerity program that will doom Greeks to further hardship in a sixth year of recession. One more day of demonstrations is planned continuing until lawmakers vote late today on the bill to slash euros13.5 billion ($17.3 billion) from budget spending over two years.
