EU Says Greeks Should Work 6-Day Week: Report

That's real white of the the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund to leave the the 2 week vacation in. So because the Greek government went hog wild spending (it ain't like the people did it) all it's citizens should be enslaved to work 6 days a week for 13 hours a day.
Did the central bank need an injection? My guess is, yes. And I know the IMF has hit the US up, so seriously who the hell do they think they are?
How long do you think you could keep running on that type of schedule?
2 weeks to a month maximum is all I could do. A body nor a mind runs well without rest.
Greece just needs to default. The money they would get pretty much only goes to pay interest.


Greeks should operate a six-day working week for all sectors, international creditors said in a letter to the Greek government, a measure which forms part of a wider set of demands in return for aid to the country.


The paper printed the following extract from the letter: "Increase the number of maximum workdays to six days per week for all sectors. Increase flexibility of work schedules; set the minimum daily rest to 11 hours; delink the working hours of employees from the opening hours of the establishment; eliminate restrictions on minimum/maximum time between morning and afternoon shifts; allow the consecutive two-week leave to be taken anytime during the year in seasonal sectors."

Greece has had to agree to an austerity package and stringent labor market reforms in order to continue receiving payments from its creditors.
