Hungary's So-Called "Slave Law" Sparks Protests; Could Make Workers Work 8 More Hours a Week

Protesters clashed with police in the Hungarian capital of Budapest last night against a new law that has been called the "slave law." the Euro News website reports today (December 14, 2018).

The change allows employers to ask staff to work up to 400 extra hours per year of overtime instead of 250.

It could amount to another eight hours a week for some workers, equivalent to an extra working day.

It also allows employers to delay payments for the extra hours for up to three years.
