    Yes of course people are paid for overtime, the article doesn’t say anything about not being paid.
    I know in USA it’s normal to not be paid for overtime, but USA is not a civilized country, I thought Greece was.
    Maybe people need to unionize more.

      USA is not a civilized country

      As a full time working US citizen this made me chuckle. It’s like a fairytale hearing about the kinds of protections and guarantees people in other countries get.

        To us, USA is a dystopian example of what we don’t want to become.
        It’s really sad, because things were going really well, as in the right direction 50 years ago. And ironically MAGA is pulling even more in the opposite direction, pulling even further away from everything that was good about America in the 70’s.
