The Greek government is exploring legislation that could allow for 13-hour workdays, stirring discussions among labor groups and overseas workers.

The Greek government has proposed a new labor bill that potentially extends the legal workday to 13 hours. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to enhance labor market flexibility. Official announcements indicate the proposal aims to address economic challenges and increase competitiveness. However, labor unions and advocacy groups have expressed concerns about the possible impact on workers’ rights and well-being. For overseas workers in Greece, including those from India, the Philippines, Nepal, and Indonesia, this development may affect working conditions and labor agreements.
