Poland's president on Tuesday signed into law a bill that largely limits trade on Sundays, saying it would benefit employees' family life. The legislation, worked out by the conservative government and the Solidarity trade union, is expected to draw protests from large Western supermarket chains that are the main target of the law. A large part of their profit is earned on weekends, when many consumers do their big weekly shopping trips. As of March 1, shops and markets will be closed on two Sundays each month. "Where there are hired trade employees, Sunday should be a day off to allow them time with their families," he said.
