Employees of the state-owned Labor Housing Organization (OEK) protest on February 16 outside the Labor Ministry in Athens against the government's decision to shut down the organization. A massive rescue package for Greece faced a substantial rewrite on Thursday, after officials revealed that Athens could not meet its debt targets and divisions grew over the country's eurozone future.
