Greece introduces 6-day work week, labour experts worried it “can spread”
Greece has become the first European country to introduce 48-hours of labour per week. As of July 1st, some Greeks have the option to work six days a week or add an extra two hours onto their workday.
The country’s prime minister says the measure is “deeply growth-oriented,” but some labour and political analysts are strongly against the move.
“I haven’t heard anyone who’s happy about it because the expectation — as you said it’s an introduction — can spread to other industries. So, there is the concern that this is not going to stop here,” says Sakis Gekas, a modern Greek history professor at York University.
