The labor movement will free Left to get stopped government proposal Sunday open stores.
– In reality the government is doing with this proposal on the everyday life of the country.
There should be no day off, says Trine Lise Sundnes to Avisenes Nyhetsbyrå (ANB).
She is the leader in trade union and Commercial Office and was on Friday together with the other parties in employment informed that the government shortly submit a bill that will give Sunday opening stores for consultation.
– This is a sad day. For a long time we have asked the same questions without answers.
We repeated the same questions in today’s meeting, but has not yet received an answer to why it can not conduct an impact assessment showing what such a proposal will have to say to the community, she adds.
Among other many argued that the proposal would have major environmental consequences. It is the crown argument Sundnes including will take with them when she attempts to convince Left about the realities of the proposal.
Although both workers and employers are against the proposal, that industry organizations are strongly negative, and that it is a majority of the people who are against Sunday opening stores, pushing government consumers ahead when the proposal is sent out for consultation.
– Government view is that supply and demand are better than legislation to regulate shopping hours said Culture Minister Thorhild Widvey.
The government hopes on support from the Liberal proposal, but Liberals will give municipalities the power to decide whether to open for Sunday shopping.
This is according Widwey an even more extremist and liberal proposals.
Christian Democrats have let themselves provoke the proposal and uses some of the same arguments as union leader Sundnes.
– Oh make Sunday a normal trading day will change the entire society rhythm and touch us all. Distinguishing between work and rest, between weekdays and weekends, is a good and a value that we must cherish and not weaken, says the Christian Democratic leader Knut Arild Hareide.
Labor has announced that they will require an environmental impact assessment as social partners also want.
Thorhild Widvey, which is responsible for law on helligdagsfred, hoping that hearing can illuminate the various aspects of the case. But she denies that it is applicable with an impact.
– We have enough knowledge to implement this without it, emphasized she at Friday’s press conference.
The proposal implies that stores should be able to keep open on all common Sundays a year, with the exception of the special holidays and observances days 1 and 17 May. (ANB)
