Greece adopted a model of working 6 days a week, why was this step taken?

Everyone in the world finds their work boring at times. But what does a man not do to run his house? A person gets tired while doing office work every day. Which also affects his work. In such a situation, many companies around the world are trying to improve the work of their employees. Giving employees three days off per week instead of two is a result of this effort. This is the reason why many countries these days make their employees work four days a week. In contrast, Greece has allowed some companies to work 6 days a week instead of 5. A law was also implemented for this.

Why did Greece take this step?

This step is taken by Greece because they want to help the employees who are going through the problem of poverty. The purpose of this policy in Greece is to provide assistance to older workers and to compensate workers trapped in poverty. According to a report in the English newspaper Times of India, the law applies to private sector employees in some industrial and manufacturing sectors. Also applies to people working 24-hour continuous shifts, seven days a week, with some exceptions. However, this will be allowed only in “exceptional circumstances”. Greece is completely different from most countries in the world. On the one hand, four working day trials have been conducted in Britain, Iceland and New Zealand. Greece is struggling with a shortage of skilled workers.

Why were the workers angry against this policy?

If an employee works on the sixth day, he will get 40 percent extra compensation on this day. This will also bring more money into the pockets of employees, thereby reducing their poverty problem. However, it is worth noting that the government insisted that the Act does not affect the five-day working system in any way. However, the workers are upset about this. According to the Union of Private Sector Workers, approximately 1 in 5 Greek adults are at risk of poverty. Nikos Fotopoulos said, “With this in mind, what worker would say no to employers who you treat workers like their slaves.
