Overview

  • FAECYS and the main employer chambers agreed to trasladar the observance from Friday, Sept. 26, to Monday, Sept. 29, for workers covered by CCT 130/75.
  • Supermarkets, hypermarkets, shopping centers and large chains will not open, while small neighborhood stores attended by owners or family may choose to operate.
  • Employees who work on Sept. 29 must receive a 100% pay surcharge, and the day cannot be swapped for a compensatory rest day.
  • Unions announced monitoring and complaint mechanisms to deter coercion and verify proper payments, with local labor authorities coordinating some inspections.
  • The sectoral long weekend aligns with separate national moves that shift the Diversity Cultural holiday to Friday, Oct. 10, and create an extended November break.
