Goodbye 40-hour week? Spain moves closer to a shorter workweek as Parliament considers historic bill to cut hours for over 12 million workers
Spain's government has approved a bill to reduce the standard workweek from 40 to 37.5 hours, potentially impacting millions of workers. This move, the first reduction in working hours since 1983, faces parliamentary hurdles due to a lack of majority support. While trade unions support the change, business organizations express concerns about its impact on small firms.
