Catalonia is working on timetable reform
The Timetable Reform Initiative is a Catalan organisation created to achieve more reasonable working hours and greater reconciliation between work and family. Last year, a Catalan Parliamentary commission studied this reform, and this year, the legislative changes will create a timetable law.Last week, the General Secretary of the Commerce Confederation of Catalonia (CCC), Miquel Àngel Fraile, said that Catalan trade is willing to join a “D-Day” to mark the start of the time reform in Catalonia. For the past few weeks, the village of Prats de Lluçanès, in Barcelona region, has been at the forefront of time reform in the hospitality sector with a pilot programme that proposes that restaurant owners advance the opening hours of their establishments.
