It’s important to contextualize this (1) in the frame of Greece at this point of time —- many individuals still recovering from the recent internationally-renowned fiscal crisis, while corporations have received aid —- and (2) the general sociopolitical context: a long-standing tradition of guaranteed socialized healthcare for everyone (although the wait times are horrible and quality of care is questionable), government-managed pensions, and a promise that everyone should at the very least be okay, if not prosper. Greece’s long standing tradition of a strictly regulated market (as a way of putting overall societal well-being over individual profits) is being forced into the spotlight by reforms “forced on” by the EU and the international funds that bailed Greece out from the fiscal crisis. On the other hand, the populace feels neither responsible nor benefited by neither the crisis, nor the reforms. An interesting tidbit from the recent labor law that enabled EFood’s action: employers have to report employee-hours-worked and schedule to the government, on a weekly basis, ahead of time, via a poorly design website, or via SMS, and there have been talks of tracking people’s working location and hours via an app… It’s very interesting to see what will happen over the next few years… PS: nice to see you here, Alex
