Local stores should be able to open on Sundays. However, they should only be allowed to offer a range of food products and the number of employees affected must be limited. This is what the National Council is demanding with a motion from the FDP parliamentary group.
On Tuesday, it voted in favor of the proposal by Philippe Nantermod (FDP/VS) by 109 votes to 79. According to the proposal, small local stores should not only be allowed to open in tourist regions, at airports, train stations and petrol stations, but everywhere in the country.
The motion, which calls for an amendment to labor law, goes to the Council of States.
