"For those of us with very physical jobs, beyond improving work-life balance, reducing the workday would help us reduce this workload and improve our health." Diego works in the cleaning industry and this holiday, May Day, he dedicated it to demonstrating to demand that Spain finally approve the 37.5-hour work week.
