From the construction industry to the tourism sector, Greek employers cannot find the staff they need. The government's solution: longer working hours. A new law enables employers to implement a six-day work week

“While the 40-hour work week is still officially in place, employers are permitted to require staff to work up to two unpaid hours per day for a limited period in return for more free time.”

    So what’s stopping the workers from saying no? If they have labor shortages then the job market should be favorable to the workers as you gotta be the most attractive employer, which would be those that don’t abuse that law and overwork their employees. It’s not like they can force people to work.

    Or just go anywhere else in the EU.
