Lidl is a key partner of the initiative of the Civil Unity Forum and Egyenlő.hu, within the framework of which all 200 stores of the market-leading supermarket chain will be closed on December 24, one of Hungary’s biggest Christian holidays. According to the unanimous opinion of the parties, this is a pioneering step for Hungarian employees working in trade and their family members, who can thus spend the entire holiday in peace and tranquility with their loved ones.

The aim of CÖF-CÖKA (Civil Szefghags Közhaznú Alapítvány) and Egyenlő.hu, the modern trade union, is to keep commercial units closed on the holiday of love, December 24, representing the interests of trade workers. Lidl Hungary, which handles the largest turnover in the food industry sector, fully supported the initiative and decided to keep all 200 of its stores closed on Christmas Eve, i.e. to give its employees a day off on December 24.
