  • Well, it’s not good. People in Greece are already working the most hours in EU, now their bosses will be able to ask them to work an additional day, for which they will be paid 40% more (but that’s hardly a big benefit since wages already already low and product prices are among the most expensive in Europe). Taking into consideration also the high retirement age of 67, you can see how the system tries to maximize output by squeezing more and more out of the working class, a small gain at a time. The high bills for basic services (water and power supply) and other expenses as well as products being expensive as mentioned above, as well as the fear of being fired (syndicalism is not the same strong everywhere) will sure make a lot of workers accept the sixth working day, even if it means it will tire them out.
