Unions take a step forward to reduce working hours. The Ministry informed social workers The reduction of the working day to 38 and a half hours will begin in early 2025instead of 2024 as the PSOE and Sumar had promised in their government agreement, and that the 37.5 will not come into force until the first day of 2026, a year after what was announced. Secretary of Trade Union Action and Employment of CCOO, Mari Cruz Vicente Vicente indicated that the parliamentary treatment of the project will mean that the reduction of working hours to 37.5 hours per week will be implemented by 2026, while the previous section, the reduction of the current 40 hours to 38.5 hours, will arrive for the year 2025, which would mean delaying the government’s projects by one year.
