In recent days, the proposal to appoint another person has received wide attention in Poland day off from tradingwhich she would be Christmas Eveand many politicians supported this idea. And a moment later they started working on a bill changing the rules of Sunday trading.
Less trading on Saturday. On Sunday, no shopping
Trading-free Sundays This is an idea introduced by Law and Justice during its rule, and from the very beginning it was not liked by the liberal part of the Polish political scene. Now, while working on a bill amending Sunday rules, Poland 2050 has put forward a proposal to restore two shopping Sundaysand this concept may initially count on the support of politicians from the Civic Coalition and PSL. However, the Left, which remains in the government, is opposed. And even before the changes were introduced, the Razem party came up with new ideas for Polish trade.
Its politicians who recently they parted ways with the governmentpropose not to talk about lifting bans, but to focus on ways increasing work comfort among traders. They suggest starting on Saturdays.
– One of the proposed solutions is early closing of large stores and supermarkets on Saturdays, which would help provide employees with greater comfort at work and rest – said Marcelina Zawisza, MP from Razem, during a meeting of the Parliamentary Economy Committee.
Close stores earlier during the week as well
The idea of Razem politicians completely destroys the current narrative of those in power and would introduce even greater restrictions on trade. It doesn’t seem to have found favor after all government websitebut it is certainly supported by some trade unions. According to gazeta.pl, the trade “Solidarity” does not even rule it out protests or strikesif Sundays become working again. In response to the government’s ideas, trade unionists counterattack by presenting their own concept of change. Not only do they support shortening the working hours of large-format stores on Saturdays, but they also do not like what happens there on Saturdays. weekdays.
– There is no other country where there are shops open until midnight or all night long. This is an exaggeration, Alfred Bujara from Solidarity told the newspaper, postulating that large-format stores should be closed on Saturdays. closed at 6 or 7 p.mand on weekdays no later than 9 p.m. The fact that today they are open sometimes until 23, or until midnight, he called it a post-pandemic remnant that should be ended as soon as possible.
