ATHENS, April 16 (Reuters) - Thousands of workers at a Canadian-run gold mine in northern Greece protested in Athens on Thursday against a decision by the new leftist government to revoke the company's licence to develop the mine. "We will not negotiate our right for employment, for dignity," representatives of the workers said in a statement. The workers plan to march to parliament later on Thursday. A protest against the project has also been called for the evening. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras's government, which took power in January on promises to end austerity and reverse privatisations, revoked Eldorado's licence in February, saying it wanted to examine whether it was in line with town planning and environment regulations. Eldorado said the government's decision could force it to reconsider its investment plans. (Reporting by Angeliki Koutantou and Alkis Konstantinidis; Editing by Karolina Tagaris/Jeremy Gaunt)
