With an increase in the number of days off, the Greeks extended the working day, which, according to the trade unions, will lead to the exploitation of workers.
Residents of Greece took to the first demonstration since the beginning of the pandemic, expressing dissatisfaction with the labor market reform proposed by the government. About this on Thursday, June 10, reported Bloomberg agency.
According to one of the points of the bill, which will be voted on in parliament next week, the working week is reduced to four days, but the working day is increased.
In this regard, Greek unions fear that since the country has the highest unemployment rate in Europe, employers will exploit their workers, who will find it difficult to get vacation.
According to the newspaper, the strikes covered many areas of the country, in particular the transport. So, in Greece, which only opened the borders for tourists, trains have stopped, and ships do not leave ports.
