".
In this report, we voted in favour of the paragraphs which contributed towards protecting the working women, both in terms of their health and wages and in terms of children’s health.
It is, however, to be deplored that the report does not even propose to bring the advantages and rights into line with the countries where these are most favourable to pregnant women in work.
Moreover, we should not like our vote in favour of the specific protection of women night-workers during pregnancy to be interpreted as legitimising women’s working night shifts. Quite the contrary, we wish to restate our opposition to night work, if it is not socially useful, not just for women, but also for men.
The prohibition of night work for women is a right acquired by the working movement in France. To revoke this would be a retrograde step in social terms. To speak of equality between men and women is hypocrisy. This hypocrisy is intended to conceal the fact that the legislator is more concerned to reassure employers that their factories may be operated profitably than to guarantee the health and safety of employees."@en1
