When the Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, proposed to businessmen a Reduction from ‘French’ day To attract them to the agreement of the 37.5 hours a week, one of the internal publications of the Ministry had already expressed its doubts about The impact … that 35 hours approved in France three decades ago had in terms of employment, salaries, productivity and competitiveness In that country. The magazine ‘International socio -labor’, which is published by the Ministry, had compiled conclusions of several studies in which it was aimed at consequences such as a “Salary moderation” among part of the workers who were reduced by the day by not seeing their salaries increased as much as the measure was expected after applying.
These analyzes arrived in the magazine In the April number of last year, When I had been negotiating with the social agents the terms of the law for which Spain would go from 40 to 37.5 working hours. In that publication, The Minister of Labor in France, Daniel J. Solana, summarized several studies that concluded, for example, how a part of the Gauling workers declared «A greater variability of the schedules and intensification of work as negative». In particular, the text points out, “to those of lower remuneration and qualification.” In several points of that publication it emphasizes that in these positions “the effects” of reducing the day were “in general, little beneficial.” Put as an example the distribution sectorwhere the templates did not win extra holiday days but morning or free afternoons When there were few customers. Something that “did not allow them to take advantage of them being specific adjustments” and not fit with their family needs.
Another study warned that French companies saw a decrease of 3.7% in its total productivity Between 1997 and 2000, the first years in which the neighboring country began to apply 35 hours per week. This analysis contrasts with the idea of the ministry by which productivity will increase when Spain passes at 37.5 hours per week.
Less quotes
These reports also confirm that it was thanks to the reduction of salary costs, derived from measures that were launched to reduce social quotes – with the subsequent reforms that were nuanced the initial law of 35 hours – those that “compensated” other negative impacts that that measure had. He also considers that “the ideas of” better work distribution and the theory of creating many jobs “that Yolanda Díaz also anticipates Diaz with his star work project for this legislature are not clearly accredited.”
