Loading ...Greece introduces ‘growth-oriented’ six-day working week
Pro-business government says measure is needed due to shrinking population and shortage of skilled workers
Companies in countries worldwide may be toying with the idea of implementing shorter working weeks, but in Greece employees have been told that, henceforth, they can put in a sixth day of labour in an unorthodox step aimed at turbocharging productivity.
After outpacing other Europeans in terms of economic growth, the nation once at the heart of the continent’s worst financial crisis has bucked the trend again, introducing a 48-hour working week. The measure, decried as “barbaric” by unions, takes effect from Monday.
SLAVERY is fashionable again — it will no longer be hidden behind closed doors — they always pick one country to see how the serfs will respond …………
Yes BUT
10 Years ago all we heard was Greece is a basket Case
About to be reduced to 3rd world status
Austerity as far as the eye can seen
Unpayable debt to the IMF
Poverty !
and here now they have the fastest growing economy on the planet and prosperity as far as the eye can see
An incredible turn around …what happened ?
PS it doen’t appear they are focing this 6 day week. It’s an option is it not ?
My interpretation was that it’s now government policy — work week becomes 48 hours — not an option. Is anyone at the tent from Greece?
