A leaked letter from Greece’s lenders — the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund — orders the country to introduce a six-day workweek as part of a package of austerity demands for a second bailout.

“Measure: increase flexibility of work schedules: increase the number of maximum workdays to six days per week for all sectors,” the letter read.

The letter also insists on a standard, single-rate minimum wage, deregulation of the labor market, the lowering of non-wage labor costs and the cutting of employers’ welfare contributions.
