This is an investiture agreement pact between the leading PSOE and its partner Sumar, with PSOE’s leader Pedro Sanchez being expected to be re-elected prime minister by the Parliament this month, meaning that, while there is a relatively clear agreement that these parties are about to continue leading the government and have the intention of passing this reform, it’ll take a while to be a reality.

    Why are they starting with only 30 min per day? That seems like a lot of effort for very little effect.

      A noticeable faction of the PSOE doesn’t want to actually pass the reform, which initially had a goal of a 35h workweek. 37,5 is a compromise.

          Usually the way it works is that you keep working the same hours, so 40 is the usual, and the difference you get as extra paid vacation days. So 2.5 h/week * 47 weeks = 117.5 hours or a bit over 14 days. That’s almost 3 weeks of extra paid vacation.

          Eh, my work week is 37.5 but some days I work longer some days I work less. I keep a tally and in slow months if I’m over I just tell the boss I’m taking a day or two off because it’s slow and I’ve already put in the time. Works out for both of us.

          Where and how? If a company is breaking the law that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t pass reform.

      To see if it works? A 6% decrease in working hours may see a noticeable difference with which to do more in the future.

        Seat warming culture is about these wanna be daddies controlling your time. These people are bad faith actors. Reasonable arguments will not work, any reforms will be forced by workers being fucking tired of the bullshit.
