Work menys progressively, establish measures in a staggered manner and one working day of 37.5 hours per week from here to three anys. These clauses, agreed upon by the agreement of the sector of event organization agencies, could be a bank of benefits in the framework of the negotiations between the Ministry of Labor, the employers and the unions to establish a reduction in the working day , which determined a mitjana of 37.5 hours per week.
Les postures encara segueixen molt enfrontades. De fet, the bosses Pimec Comerç warned that the current proposal to reduce working hours would risk the viability of more than the needs of the Catalan proximity establishments. On the other hand, the union UGT Catalunya remembers that more than a set of every 10 workers face more than 38 hours weekdays from mitjana to the next working day.
According to Pimec Comerç, the reduction of the working day to 37.5 hours would risk the viability of more than the measure of proximity establishments
To balance these opposing interests, some labor law experts urge the prior reform of three aspects that involve the labor market, such as productivity or the regulation of presence in the workplace, to definitively address the reduction of the working day. In a consultation carried out among its partners, associations and unions to assess the perception of the proposal to reduce the working day, the Pimec Comerç employer’s association found that if the measure is implemented, 38% of the merchants would like to increase the labor costs, while 20% believed that their turnover would decrease.
Furthermore, 67% of establishments affirm that they would need to hire at least one part-time person if the reduction in working hours is implemented, a fact that shows that SMEs in the sector are likely to be forced to substantially reorganize the We have a workforce to maintain the quality of the service and the productivity index. As requested by the Administration, they demand, in 77% of cases, a flexibility and adaptation of the measure taking into account the reality of each sector and the size of the companies.
The president of Pimec Comerç, Antonio Torresspecifies that the proposal to reduce the working day must be faced with a 360-degree view, since “the labor market includes three aspects that must be taken into account to implement this measure.” Torres affirms that the current proposal to reduce working hours “will affect the solvency and competitiveness of many establishments of proximity and companies in the sector”. In this sense, he emphasizes that “it will be necessary to hire more personnel at a time when it is still difficult for us to find professionals.”
Lluny of collective bargaining
All in all, the record of employment in Catalonia includes 3.86 million working people, figures that are beyond the Active Population Survey (EPA) for the third quarterIn its latest analysis, the UGT Catalunya union warns that it is unfortunate for the apparent bones, “the precariousness persists.” In relation to the working day, he details that “it is a long time for more than one set of every 10 Catalan workers.”
UGT warns that the working day “faces a long mass for more than seven out of every 10 Catalan workers”
During the third quarter, the average working day effective for people with full dedication periods was 38.6 hours. Curiously, 71.6% of these people have worked more than 37.5 hours, one of the objectives of collective bargaining.
The profiles with the longest working days include those who work in the primary sector, so the conditions are precarious, as well as the men who are dedicated to commerce and hospitality and those who are employed in the transport and logistics sector. All these groups are often affected by days exceeding 40 hours per week, which not only impairs quality of life, but can also affect physical and mental health.
In this scenario, UGT requests “to reach agreements for the reduction and rationalization of the working day, establishing 37.5 hours within the legal limit, limiting it to 35 hours and stopping walking for 32 hours.” weekly”. For this reason, It is necessary to prioritize the best working conditionsboth meny hours of work and an adequate salary with a final objective.
Dialogue and productivitat table
Keep in mind that for five decades the standard working day is 40 hours per week, the professor is a collaborator of the UOC’s law and political science studies and an expert in labor law. Miguel Arenas advocates for a change of paradigm. “First we need to analyze the workers who are in need of more than, in the case of the children, the ones whose conditions they have.”
Arenas defends the importance of articulating what can be changed in the duration of the working day through a dialogue session between unions, employers and administration. “In the political sphere, the agreement does not seem possible due to the correlation of forces, since the coalition Government seems that it will not have the support of parties such as the PNB or Junts per Catalunya,” he warned.
From a technical point of view, Arenas needs to manage the excess of presenteeism at the work stoppagewhich results in an increase in accidents and poor working conditions. The expert reminds us that, each time more, the lloc de feina is the lighter troba of the domicili, the one that causes a higher real working day. In this debate, it demands that employers accept measures with a telematic control of the time record, which is accompanied by an automatic system of sanctions.
Beyond reducing the working day, specialists consider improving productivity and reducing precariousness as a priority. In order to assess this purpose, experts warn that excessive hours of work produce confusion and work-related and personal discomfort.
