European elections 2014: THE PLEDGE !

The European Sunday Alliance calls on all it’s Members and Supporters to support the Campaign

“Pledge for a work-free Sunday and decent work ahead of the European elections 2014”

A work-free Sunday and decent working hours are of paramount importance for citizens and workers throughout Europe and are not necessarily in conflict with economic competitiveness.

Especially in the present time of socio-economic crisis, the adoption of legislation extending working hours to late evenings, nights, bank holidays and Sundays has direct consequences for the working conditions of employees and for small and medium sized enterprises. Competitiveness needs innovation, innovation needs creativity and creativity needs recreation!
