If “illegal working hours” were to be put to an end, unemployment figures in the Balearics would go down by 11 percent.
According to the Balearic Socialist party, workers in Spain work every year 10, 25 million hours extra “illegally”, meaning over the 42 hours limit by law.
The party wants to put an end to this situation and insists that sanctions must be imposed to companies and bosses who abuse and exploit their workers.
The party added that those extra hours could be filled by part-time contracts, reducing the unemployment figures in the region in the process.
