As the saying goes, where there is a policy from above, there is a countermeasure from below. The exploitation of workers by capitalists is something that can never truly be eradicated. The Spanish Government's labor laws set forth regulations on workers' hours, requiring that their daily work not exceed 11 hours, and not surpass 70 hours a week.
Yet, capitalists find various ways to coerce workers into excessive labor, and ultimately, Spanish workers' hours still exceed 11 hours daily.
If it weren't for government and Royal Family enterprises implementing a ten-hour workday, the average work time for Spanish workers might exceed 12 hours.
Yes, it's that exaggerated. This is the dark era, an inevitable topic for the industrial construction of European countries.
It isn't just Spain; other powerful countries like Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and Austria are the same.
