Spain's Ministry of Labor is grappling with significant challenges as it seeks to implement a reduction in the workweek from 40 to 37.5 hours by 2025. Despite the government's commitment, negotiations with business leaders have stalled, with employers expressing strong opposition.

The unions, led by CC OO and UGT, are pushing for swift action, threatening street protests if progress isn't made.

The Ministry, under Yolanda Díaz, is also addressing other pressing issues, such as revising dismissal laws and approving a statute for interns.

However, the government's parliamentary weakness complicates these efforts, as potential opposition from key political parties could derail the reforms.
