Spanish ministers agreed on Tuesday to cut the legal working week to 37.5 hours with no change in salary, forging ahead with one of the coalition government's flagship measures despite opposition from employers' associations, APA reports citing Reuters.
During its weekly meeting, the cabinet approved the reduction, from 40 hours currently, in an executive decree penned by Labour Minister Yolanda Diaz, who leads the hard-left party Sumar.
"This proposal is about living better, working less and being much more productive and more efficient economically," Diaz told reporters.
