Sumar launches an electoral promise in the field where Yolanda Díaz moves best. The progressive coalition undertakes to reduce the working day to 37.5 hours a week as early as 2024, to later gradually advance until it reaches 32 hours. It would ultimately translate into working weeks of four days a week, a proposal that Íñigo Errejón already launched from Más País during this legislature.
The commitment was announced by Díaz herself in a video distributed since her candidacy. “I want to make a proposal that is very simple, that working people can return home an hour before after their workday, to rest and sleep to be with their loved ones or to do whatever they want,” said the candidate for the Moncloa.
The Vice President and Minister of Labor thus accelerates the deadlines indicated in the Foundation Study for the Law on Use of Time that she herself presented and which already proposed setting the reduction in a first phase at 37.5 hours by 2026.
Among the measures proposed are better control of overtime and compensation with free time, eliminating uncontrolled variable schedules, regulating the schedules of public services or more flexible time management throughout people’s professional careers, taking into account the different needs that occur throughout the life cycle, including the relief contract.
