The kinds of perks that have given Greece a certain image, and which has drawn criticism in the EU. The Samaras government cancelled several perks including this one which was started in 1989. The public sector union said it will protest the cut saying it was considered necessary for the health of workers to take 15 minutes break after every 2 hours in front of the computer. Other perks like this one are also being cut including one for showing up for work on time, and one that continues the pension to unmarried daughters when the father dies.
