During its weekly meeting, the cabinet approved the reduction, from 40 hours currently, in an executive decree penned by Labour Minister Yolanda Diaz, who leads the hard-left party Sumar.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;This proposal is about living better, working less and being much more productive and more efficient economically,&#8221; Diaz told reporters. The measure still needs to be approved in parliament, where the centre-left government led by Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez lacks a clear majority and depends on balancing the demands of several smaller parties to pass legislation.<br \/>\nDiaz, who is also deputy prime minister, made the plan to reduce working hours by the end of 2025 central to her party&#8217;s support for Sanchez&#8217;s premiership.<\/p>\n<p>But the centre-right Catalan separatist party Junts has already signalled resistance to the proposal, while the main lobby for employers, CEOE, has said it would raise Spanish firms&#8217; costs and make them less competitive. After months of talks between Diaz and unions and employers&#8217; representatives, negotiations with CEOE broke down in November after it insisted the shorter week should not be imposed by law but through collective bargaining to suit each company&#8217;s needs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;The corporate world is in favour of dialogue, but not in favour of monologue,&#8221; CEOE chief Antonio Garamendi said on Tuesday. Diaz has also clashed with Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo, whom she accused of &#8221;siding with employers&#8221; after he proposed delaying the change by a year to give small businesses time to adapt. Spain&#8217;s central bank and former economy minister have both warned that higher labour costs could fuel inflation and curb job creation.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/spanish-ministers-agree-cut-legal-working-week-375-hours-2025-02-04\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/spanish-ministers-agree-to-cut-legal-working-week-to-37-5-hours\/\">Spanish ministers agree to cut legal working week to 37.5 hours<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,17828,1102],"class_list":["post-137227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-legal-working-week-to-37-5-hours","tag-spain"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137227\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
