UK workers should get four more bank holidays a year, according to the Trades Union Congress (TUC), one of the largest workers' unions.
The body has said the UK should be in line with other European countries that enjoy an average 12.3 public holidays a year. The call comes amid TUC's claim that businesses received £27 billion of free labour in unpaid overtime last year, reported the Mirror.
TUC said gratitude should be rewarded to the "nation of grafters" - echoing leaked audio of Liz Truss claiming UK workers "need more graft" as they lack the "skill and appreciation" of those elsewhere.
