Greece is debating one of its most controversial labour reforms in decades, allowing private sector workers to work up to 13 hours a day for around 37 days a year. The government says the move will boost flexibility, address labour shortages and support an ageing workforce, while overtime will be capped and paid at a 40% bonus. Critics warn many workers will have little choice but to comply, calling the policy exploitative. Protests have erupted demanding shorter weeks and stronger protections. With Greeks working 39.8 hours a week on average, the debate reflects a wider global rethink on work and time. Firstpost | World News | News Live | Vantage | Palki Sharma | News
