This is an investiture agreement pact between the leading PSOE and its partner Sumar, with PSOE's leader Pedro Sanchez being expected to be re-elected prime minister by the Parliament this month, meaning that, while there is a relatively clear agreement that these parties are about to continue leading the government and have the intention of passing this reform, it'll take a while to be a reality.

A noticeable faction of the PSOE doesn't want to actually pass the reform, which initially had a goal of a 35h workweek. 37,5 is a compromise.
