I don't live in Greece, I've only been there on holiday. But I've got a couple of things to say to this: Greece has a very low retirement age. Somewhere around 55 (+/- a couple of years; I think it's lower). While people get older, so the elder population grows. Greece has had (has) many economic problems, and got a lot of EU economic aid. A local Greek told me: _"With this money we bought big Mercedes cars. Now the money is spent. We ourselves are now on our own forced to solve the problems we made for ourselves. That's how we chose it to be"._ One can agree or not, but this was his local opinion. I guess the 6-day work week is one way to try to solve their economic problems. Few voters would agree to raise the retirement age. But they have to do... something. EU won't fund any more Mercedes.

The problem with Greece and why young Greeks are leaving isn't the financial crisis. It is because of rampant nepotism. Unless your family owns the business you work in, you are treated like a robot and typically denied promotions and the starting salary and subsequent salary increases are far lower than for people connected to the ownership. Young people see this, see that this is a far smaller problem elsewhere in Europe and they just leave. The Greek government has absolutely no interest in solving this because the people staffing it are the main beneficiaries.

Sounds like being forced to work more than you already are or loose your job for the good of the nation falls into that definition.

The employee benefits as well since nowadays those same businesses employ people to work for 5 days on paper and make a "deal" with the employee to work another day (6th) illegally and be paid "under the table". This law will provide the employee with legal backing to ensure that he is being paid fairly in case of a 6 day work (pay rate for the 6th day increases between +40% to +115%), include that extra day to his future retirement/pension plan (increase his/her future pension), be paid more in case of layoffs. Also we must note that this is NOT mandatory and only specific businesses can apply for this.

Imposing or allowing, once you'd change the definition so 6 day work week is "full-time" and 5 days "part-time" the social stigma alone is sorta imposed, let alone how little flexibility employees have, "can you work 6 days a week for me?", "no, actually I have preference for working 4 days a week", obviously the labor market doesn't work like this

@Ghanfort

Its not imposed in any way. Only certain businesses can make use of this measure, currently the same businesses employ on paper people for 5 days a week and require them to work 6 days illegally due to not being able to find workers and they are paying the employees for the 6th day "under the table". This measure will at least try to mitigate/control this phenomenon since the employee that works for 6 days will now have the legal backing to be payed more (pay rate for the 6th day increases between +40% to +115%), include those extra days in his retirement plan (increasing his future pension) etc.

We have to consider that Greece has an extremely low retirement age (which few voters will agree to change), and has huge economic problems (maybe for the same reasons). EU bailed them out many times, but instead they spent the money on Mercedes cars (according to local Greek people I spoke to). So if they don't wanna work for a longer time, they might have to work more while in the working age to get the job done. I'm just guessing.

That's nuts

Just because a business is open 6 days a week it doesn't mean you will work 6 days.

I'm not even from greace and I'm already outraged 🤬 this country is giving precedence.

Meanwhile every other first world country is looking at FOUR day work weeks

This is a boss making decisions without talking to his workers first, and informing with a letter or email, and not facing them directly. And you dont get a produktivity boost by intimidate all the talent or younger worker that can get better deals anywhere else.

I was on a 7 day working regime for 8 months, but mostly 6, until I found a better 5 w-day job, If I ever went back to working that way I'd pop myself

I don't know if Greece had penalties for anything beyond normal business hours before this but this change effectively reduces penalties and is a dangerous precedent.

Every country takes step forward and Greece like hold my beer and says like guys we are going backwards instead.. Unacceptable!

It was already 6 day week, it was just being done illegally and without pay because people were desperate. It was like this for over 20 years

In Switzerland some companies still have a 42 hour week. My last company had a 40 hour week, of which much could be working from home.
