I fully support the CERCAS report as a meaningful step towards a 48-hour working week in all 25 member states, from 2010. It will eliminate the current opt-out, and introduce strict new conditions on how ‘on call’ time can be counted towards the 48-hour week. Working time will still be calculated over a 4 month period, with exemptions available to calculate over 12-months – subject to stronger control through collective bargaining.
Proper regulation of working time is a cornerstone for social Europe. It reconciles work and family life and addresses an important health and safety issue.
It is totally wrong that an opt-out is available on health and safety law, and important that it is ended as soon as possible. The greatest risk is that this opt-out is extended to all Member States which would render regulation of Working Time redundant, resulting in a race to the bottom.
The implementation date of 2010 gives both sides of industry time to negotiate new agreements that take account of the 48-hour week. The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) fully supports the Report as offering a fair deal to workers across the EU."@en1
