I propose that the government pass a law to implement the will of the people, who voted to keep shops closed on Sundays. After all, if we compare ourselves with Austria, we still have Austrian opening times where shops are closed on Sundays. The exception is petrol stations and shops where the shop owners themselves do the work, just as is the case on public holidays, when shops are also closed. Why are we always comparing ourselves with Austria, let us give an example: Seiersberg Austria open on Saturdays from 9:00 to 18:00 Ikea Klagenfurt open on Saturdays from 9:00 to 18:00 Ikea Graz open on Saturdays from 9:00 to 18:00 Momax Graz open Saturdays from 9:00 to 18:00 Obi Graz open Saturdays from 9:00 to 18:00 XXXL Lutz Graz open Saturdays from 9:00 to 18:00 Lidl at the Borders open on Saturdays from 07:15 to 18:00 (opening hours vary from place to place) Hofer at the Borders open on Saturdays from 7:15 to 18:00 (opening hours vary from place to place) Bauhaus Graz open on Saturdays from 7:15 to 18:00 I would also suggest that the shops are open during the week: -summer opening hours Monday to Friday from 7.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. -winter opening hours Monday to Friday from 7.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. On Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. On 24.12. and 31.12. the shops could be open until 14.00! It is up to the trader to decide whether to open at 7.00 or 8.00 or 9.00. This would achieve the following: -employers would become family-friendly businesses -easier scheduling of workers and easier planning of timetables -on Saturdays, only one shift could be worked and employers would save money (travel costs, snacks, etc.) -workers could have at least 1 weekend a month off, which they currently don't have because of Sundays -saving electricity and water -employers would save money. Working in shops is becoming more and more difficult. Increasingly demanding customers, increasingly long hours, so a law like this would make it possible for salespeople to have more time off and at the same time be with their families more at weekends.
