Greece’s Main Opposition Syriza Condemns 6-Day Work Week, Calls It “Unacceptable”

Athens: Greece’s main opposition party Syriza declared on Tuesday that the recent implementation of a six-day working week for specific companies was a “disgrace”.

The policy was enacted by Greece’s right-wing ruling New Democracy party in early July.

Since the late 2000s financial crisis, Greece has encountered a scarcity of skilled workers, prompting many young people to seek better opportunities abroad.

However, the policy has drawn significant domestic and international scrutiny for diverging from the trends in many Western countries, where there is ongoing debate about implementing a four-day work week to enhance productivity.
