CCOO Cartagena against the opening of every Sunday in local commerce (26/02/2019)

CCOO CARTAGENA estimates that the creation of employment in the sector is negligible since the opening of all Sundays of the year in Cartagena was regulated in 2013

CCOO wants to return to the previous regulation that only contemplated the opening of the Cartagena shops during 14 Sundays a year

For years Cartagena is considered as a Zone of Great Tourist Influx, an excuse like any other that politicians and local businessmen invented to have open the shops of large stores every Sunday of the year, forcing people working both in those big businesses and in the small ones to not have Sunday rest.

CCOO, however, considers that it is a counterproductive measure and asks the City of Cartagena to convene the Municipal Council of Commerce and from there to promote the reversal of this measure.

In the previous regulation only worked 14 Sundays a year, something reasonable, not like the 52 Sundays now.

In other cities around us, with much more tourism than here, we have managed to return to that situation.

Why not in Cartagena?

Do we really need to make the purchase of the week precisely on Sunday, every Sunday of the year?

The people who work in these shops are condemned to not have free Sundays.

And that measure, directly, sinks the small local commerce.

CCOO also considers that the opening of all Sundays of the year has not been useful.

What is sold on Sundays is not sold the rest of the days of the week, when the shops in the city are almost deserted as the large influx of consumers expected with this measure does not occur.

There are large shopping centers that report less sales now than in previous years, and the small business of the city has clearly resented this measure.

The employment figures say so.

Trade in Cartagena continues to be one of the sectors with the highest unemployment figures, which is why CCOO demands that the current regulation of trade in the city be reversed, which does not benefit either employment or the sector or the city.
