– Who will have to work Sundays?

– Many ask themselves not only students can work. But 55,000 students are in retail today. When you need 245,000 it says itself that one is far from solving this using students. Firms will have to scoop the normal full-time and part-time employees from weekdays, says Jordfald.

And an effect may be that retailers will choose to close earlier on weekdays to push staff and resources to the days turnover goes best believes Jorfald.

Familiefiendlig believes LO

LO believes that the proposal Sunday open stores only has losers. In addition to all the staff who are drawn into, it will lead to a butikkdød in rural areas and among the small shops and it will go out of the profitability of the entire trade.

– This will obviously these workers family members, spouses and children, who must adapt life on weekends that one family member is away at work. So it is obviously already for people working in the care sector, in areas of industry and in other sectors where Sunday work is required. But to expose a new sector completely for Sunday work makes Sunday for very many families no longer be a day you can use together. The proposal is family hostile, says LO First Secretary Peggy Hesse Følsvik.

Andersen, political director of the Real.

Experiences from Denmark suggests that neither the turnover or employment will increase if the shops are open Sundays.

– The consumption is unlikely to increase 15 percent even though the shops are open 15 percent anymore. But you will probably notice massive pressure from the major shopping centers to establish Sunday as a day of trading, said Jorfald.

In Denmark the trade moved to the weekend. Every third consumer there says that they act in always or usually in late evenings, after at 13 o’clock on a Saturday or on Sunday.
