More than a hundred retail workers gathered this Thursday in front of the Assembly of the Republic to advocate for the closure of commercial surfaces on Sundays and holidays, as well as a reduction in operating hours until 10 PM. This protest highlights the growing demand among workers for better work-life balance and the preservation of traditional rest days.
The movement has sparked a nationwide debate on workers' rights and the impact of extended shopping hours on employees' well-being. Protesters argue that the current system disproportionately affects retail workers, leaving them with little time for family and personal activities.
This demonstration comes amid increasing discussions on labor laws in Portugal, with many calling for reforms that prioritize employee welfare over commercial interests. The protesters' demands include not only the closure of stores on Sundays and holidays but also a standardization of working hours across the retail sector.
