Greece's parliament approved a controversial labour bill allowing 13-hour workdays, despite strong opposition and strikes. The government claims it modernizes labour laws, while critics, including the Syriza party, label it a 'legislative monstrosity'. The law caps annual overtime at 150 hours and maintains a 40-hour work week, with optional longer hours for higher pay. Unions argue it undermines workers' rights and could lead to over-exploitation. Greece's working conditions remain among the toughest in the EU, with low wages and high unemployment. Teljes cikk (bbc.com europe)
