Can the shops in the Airport Circle be open on Sundays? The Zurich Cantonal Council debated it on Monday. It was about jobs and God.
The recently opened Circle is a “general store”. This includes about 25 stores.

Does the Circle belong to the airport? Without a doubt, the corporate liberals found Monday morning. And therefore it is absolutely fine that all 25 stores can be open on Sundays. This is what the labor legislation provides for companies in the vicinity of train stations and airports.
Government Councilor Carmen Walker Späh (FDP) vehemently defended the “liberal interpretation” of the opening hours of shops in the canton of Zurich. Because from a social point of view it is questionable whether the legal requirement of Sunday rest is still appropriate. He pointed out that there is a clear need among the population for stores to be open on Sundays and for purchases to be possible.
