Comeos: 'New e-commerce regime is slap in the face'

The ‘summer agreement‘ provides that – for a trial period of two years – organising Sunday and night work will become easier. During that period, this can be done via an adjustment of the labour regulations. After that trial period, a definitive arrangement will be possible, either through an adjustment of the labour regulations or a company collective agreement. “Article 38 of the labour law will be adapted to allow night work for e-commerce activities in an enterprise by concluding a collective agreement with at least one trade union organisation,” the government communiqué states.
