Comisiones Obreras estimates that workers put in 2.54 million hours of unpaid overtime every week.

One million workers do 6.4 million overtime hours each week, according to official figures from the Labour Population Survey (EPA). This represents 5.1% of all salaried workers, but of these employees, almost half (436,000 people on average over the last year), do 2.54 million weekly overtime hours that are neither paid nor compensated with rest.

If translated into jobs, this would be equivalent to 68,000 full-time jobs, according to estimates released on Monday by the economic cabinet of the trade union Comisiones Obreras.
