Eurozone Officially in Recession Amidst Continent-Wide Strike 
--------------------------------------------------------------


 
The eurozone has officially fallen back into a recession in the face of
the ongoing sovereign debt crisis. New figures today show European Union
economies collectively saw a contraction of 0.1 percent between July and
September, the second consecutive decline. The news comes one day after
millions of workers across the European Union took part in an
unprecedented general strike against austerity measures such as tax
hikes and spending cuts. Dubbed the "Day of Action and Solidarity," it
was the first time unions engaged in coordinated strikes across the
European continent.
