Open Sundays for commercial employees
21. August postulate assumed the introduction of all the free Saturdays. After 36 years of “Solidarity” is to present a new proposal – free Sundays for trade workers. Association wants to do it in the same place where Lech Walesa signed the Agreement of August – in the hall of safety Gdansk Shipyard.
The information money.pl that of collecting approx. 150 thousand. signatures has informed the head of the “Solidarity” Piotr Duda. This information is expected to directly present at the ceremony representatives of the government of Prime Minister Beata Szydło at the helm. In Gdansk will also Andrzej Duda.

Its introduction is rather a formality. Beata Szydło a long time about the initiative spoke positively. Similarly to the case also approach other members of her government, including Jaroslaw Gowin. Also, the president of PiS in an interview said that he saw no problem in introducing such a ban into force.

7 Sundays of the year with
According to the civil project, on Sunday could be open petrol stations, florists, bakeries and small local shops, provided that the counter status of their owner.
The project also envisages inter alia, the establishment of seven centers Sundays throughout the year, it would be the Sundays preceding Christmas and Easter, as well as periods in which sales are organized.
Expert: ban on Sunday trading introduced gradually
Civic bill restricting trade on Sunday civilized labor market, but it also has numerous weaknesses, and their introduction could adversely affect the economy, estimates Dr. Bartholomew Biga of the Center for the Club of the Jagiellonian. Progressivity proposes the introduction of free Sundays.
– This idea is supported by many groups, including the Church and the government. The implementation of some provisions of the Act as proposed by the initiators – “Solidarity” – can, however, have a number of negative consequences. In addition, Stanisław Szwed, Deputy Minister of family, work and social policy, warns that the introduction of restrictions from the beginning of 2017 years may be impossible “, – says Biga in the commentary. He added that the proposed project has” numerous weaknesses, what awareness have even themselves by its creators “.
“The Phantom of downsizing”
According to the expert, can easily identify a number of arguments that from a social point of view is supported by limitation of trading on Sunday. As pointed out, this would probably to “civilize labor market and favor the building of social cohesion”.
– the crowning argument of opponents to restrict trade on Sundays is, however, the specter of downsizing. It must be emphasized that in spite of the black scenarios scale layoffs would be significantly lower than 1/7 of total employment, since it would increase the demand for labor in the remaining days of the week. A larger number of buyers from Monday to Saturday, however, does not have saved the industry prior to the reduction in employment of up to 100 thousand people. Although this figure is only approx. 2.5 per cent. trade workers, the scale of the exemptions would be significant. One must remember that in the economy as a whole this industry generates every fourth job – says Biga.
He added that this negative effect may be minimized if the distribution changes over time.
– The “Solidarity” envisages the introduction of restrictions on almost all the Sundays of the year (…). The sudden appearance of forty a few extra days with limited trade would, however, for the commercial sector shock. For this reason, a better solution would be to gradually increase the number of “free Sundays”. For example, in the first year of one month, after two years, to cover all trade restriction in the perspective of three years – suggests the expert. According to the project during the year will be the so-called seven. Sunday trading. Stores would be open, inter alia Sundays preceding Christmas and Easter, as well as periods in which sales are organized. The expert stresses that it is also worth considering the initial limitation of working hours on Sundays (eg. 8.00-16.00), and the later introduction of far-reaching prohibitions.
