Royal decree 902/2007 on the working time of mobile workers in road transport. The government had to take over after the negotiations started by Spanish social partners on the transposition of the 2002/15 directive had failed (see our story 070222). This royal decree, which amends the current article 10 of the royal decree 1561/1995 on special working time, aims at improving transport workers’ health and security and road safety, as well as encouraging the development of collective bargaining on the topic of working time.
