Overview

  • The 37.5-hour workweek bill has been waiting in Congress since its April 29 approval and faces a possible total amendment from Junts that could derail it.
  • Sumar will activate more than 70 street actions on June 14-15, featuring signature booths, informational tables and flyer distributions to rally support.
  • Vice President Yolanda Díaz and figures like Verónica Barbero and Aina Vidal plan to appear at campaign events to underscore the measure’s priority.
  • An online petition has collected almost 70,000 signatures and polls show two-thirds of Spaniards back the reduced workweek.
  • Officials are considering approving a decree to enforce hourly work controls as a fallback if the reform fails in Congress.
