Seasonal rentals
Oskar Matute identifies seasonal and room rental regulation as an important measure. This is explicit support for this measure, separate from his support for the whole package.

Matute supports the bill reducing the maximum from 40 to 37.5 hours without lower pay. Many Basque agreements already have shorter weeks; he sees the reform as progress for other workers.

Source and assessmentMass legalisation of migrants

Barakaldo branch statement on implementing the existing national statutory requirement. EH Bildu’s Barakaldo branch endorses implementing the national requirement for mobility plans and low-emission zones in towns above 50,000 residents, criticising the delay.
