Retail stores to remain closed on May 8, unions say

Retail stores and small and medium-sized businesses involved in the sector will be closed on Sunday (May 8), which would have been a working day according to a 2013 law, two unions said on Thursday.

In a joint statement, the small businesses' confederation GSEVEE and retail federation ESEE said their decision was taken as a protest to the government’s decision to introduce its omnibus bill on social security and taxation with a fast-track procedure during the weekend.
