"This proposal for a directive on working time is one of the most dangerous facets of the attack on workers’ rights. It jeopardises gains made in the course of a struggle that has lasted more than a hundred years and affects millions of workers and their families.
It is therefore crucial that this Commission proposal be removed and another drawn up that completely scraps the opt-out, rejects the classification of inactive time, abides by the rulings made by the Court of Justice, helps people to reconcile working life and family life and protects workers’ health and safety.
We also wish to stress the need to reduce the working week to 42 hours and not to increase it from 48 to 65 or more. What Europe needs to do is to set an example when it comes to protecting rights, and not to veer towards Asian standards in the name of flexibility and competition."@en1
