Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced the implementation of the '48-hour workweek' policy, allowing companies to choose whether to adopt a 6-day workweek or extended shifts. Mitsotakis emphasized that the policy aims to prioritize workers and promote economic growth, in line with other European countries. However, Greek unions criticized the move as 'barbaric', highlighting concerns over labor inspections and the government's focus on maximizing profits at the expense of worker well-being. The decision comes amidst debates in advanced countries regarding shorter workweeks for improved productivity and work-life balance.
