This measure, resulting from an agreement at the General Negotiation Table with unions, represents a significant advancement in labor rights for the council in the l'Horta Nord region. With this decision, the municipality eliminates a comparative disadvantage for its workers compared to other institutions already enjoying this model.
The main objective is to equalize labor conditions within the public sector and promote equality. The reduction in working hours aims to transform the council's organizational culture, focusing on key benefits for the staff, such as greater work-life balance, reduced stress and improved professional well-being, and increased job satisfaction which can lead to higher productivity.
“"This improvement in workers' conditions will not affect citizen services. To achieve this, the council will carry out a reorganization of schedules and more efficient shift planning, ensuring that resource optimization maintains the quality of public services."
The implementation of this 35-hour work week, coinciding with Labor Day week, solidifies Massamagrell's position within the current trend of institutional modernization. In this context, productivity and occupational health are considered fundamental pillars for an efficient administration focused on the well-being of its employees.
