they are trying to implement a 13 hour workday? wtf is wrong with the legislature in greece, this is not a “general strike”, this is a societal immune response to lethal amounts of bullshit.
13h work day? What? We aren’t talking about that times 5 days right?
13 hours a day? 😐 Where the fuck are we? North Korea?
I don’t see the issue to be honest. If somebody wants to work 13 hours a day, why not let them? My understanding is you will be paid overtime for hours 8-13. Probably pretty attractive for students or people doing seasonal work.
It’s time to eat the rich I’m afraid. No fucking mercy.
Feudalism calling…
13 hours a day. Jesus Christ.
> The 13-hour day proposal is expected to be passed into law this month. The change would allow employees to clock in 13 hours, effectively extending their presence in the work place by up to five hours.
Will this change existing contracts and how will this affect new contracts? Or is this meant to raise the maximum working hours (basically overtime) only if really needed and the roof is burning?
For example in Germany the usual is 8hours at 5days. But you are allowed to work for up to 10h a day. With some rules regarding not to overuse this and how it must be compensated.
Bow to the very reasonable demands of your corporate overlords. /s
Typical left-wing hysteria. If you were to believe this rage baiting title, everyone would be forced to work 13 hours a day. Just read the comments. Hardly anyone read the whole article.
13 h workdays are already a standard in seasonal work i think soo theres that
Most of the world is trying to lower it, guys!

Makis Kontogiorgos, a trade unionist from a major technology company, said:
“[….] People can’t be pushed like this; at some point there’ll be an explosion.”
Frankly, i think the word ‘pushed’ is very much understating this.
Sounds like a sweet government. WTF is wrong with politicians, they just sit and talk and talk, how would they be holding up if working a real job for 13 hours.
Are they being bought by saudis or something?
Look I’m all for social welfare, but I don’t understand why everyone in these comments is flipping out. It’s not like it’s normal full time working hours it’s overtime and cannot be used all the time.
Austria, which has amazing employee rights and employment conditions, has something similar with a maximum of 12h overtime allowed but over the course of 17 weeks the average weekly overtime can’t exceed 48h. Most people don’t work 12h despite that. People are overreacting like crazy.
Go komshu go. They must find other slaves to reach their ambitions. I wish we were that kind of culture. Here in Turkey people wouldn’t oppose if they make 20 hours work day. Some people even brag about it, like “I am very hardworking, working from 08:00 to 22:00”.
Huh, I am allowed to work 16 hours if I want to. And I am from Sweden that is supposedly pretty strong when it comes to unions and have rep for being worker friendly.
