According to Fortune magazine on June 25, 2024, Greece will start implementing a new 48-hour workweek starting July 1. Some employees in certain businesses and the public sector will transition to a new schedule of working six days a week. This decision aims to address labor shortages in Greece due to population decline and lack of skilled workers, with incentives like extra pay for those willing to work additional days. However, the move has sparked protests from teachers, doctors, and transportation workers who see it as a violation of workers' rights and potentially leading to 'barbaric working conditions.'
