AWS unexpectedly comes together with SLD in support of short work week

Both parties are in support of closing all state offices on Saturdays. Freedom Union (UW), AWS' coalition partner, was against the proposal. SLD parliamentarians who authored the project stressed its pro-family characteristics and also the fact that "having Saturdays free will create as many as 200,000 work places." AWS and SLD were against the UW proposal of strengthening employer positions by allowing them to lay off a worker during his holidays or sick leave. (Rzeczpospolita, page 1)
