5m work unpaid overtime - study

One in five workers is regularly putting in seven hours of unpaid overtime every week, a new study has revealed, confirming the UK's long-hours culture.

The TUC said half of teachers, legal professionals and finance managers were working more than their contracted hours for no extra pay. Other long-hours professions include the media, health and social services, said the union organisation, as it launched its annual Work Your Proper Hours Day, encouraging people to take a proper lunch break and leave on time.
