Non-working Sunday returned - important a step for the dignity of workers
17 February 2026

🗣️As a non-governmental association dedicated to the advancement of human rights and respect for legal certainty, we believe that the adoption of amendments to the Law on Internal Trade, which confirm the non-working week, represents a firm confirmation of the fundamental principles of labor law and social protection. The decision of the Assembly confirms the inalienable rights of employees, including the right to rest and preservation of dignity, as well as the balance between professional obligations and private life, which is in accordance with international standards and relevant judicial practice.
At the same time, this decision clearly denies the unfounded claims that the non-working week threatens the economy and sets a legally based framework for the further development of policies that place human rights and social responsibility at the center of legislation. Support for changes to the law in this form is unequivocal, principled and based on legal standards that protect workers, confirming society's commitment to law, justice and balance between work and life. ⚖️🤝
