The workweek is about to get a lot longer for some employees in Greece.

Starting July 1, workers in the private sector could be going into the office six days a week—as the 48-hour workweek goes into effect.

Select industrial and manufacturing facilities, along with businesses that provide 24/7 services, are eligible to extend the workweek beyond five days under new labor laws. Food service and tourism workers are not included in the longer workweeks.

The change to the labor laws was approved last September following productivity issues in the country, which have led many workers to put in extra hours and often not be compensated for the time. Officials also note there has been a shortage of skilled workers due to a shrinking population.

Our population is shrinking, what should we do!? I know, let’s enact policy that encourages people to leave!

WTF!?

This is part of that austerity plan isn't it?

Not good optics for EU as a sane government when they decide to force march the Greek public for the failures of odious policy.

Sounds like EU Oligarchs are endlessly greedy and cruel as well.
