EU Working on Spreading the French Economic Disease
Item: EU ministers clash over law limiting working hours
European Union employment ministers on Tuesday clashed over an EU working hours law, signalling little chance of a much-needed agreement on the disputed piece of legislation.
The day-long talks aimed at settling a two-year row on the divisive EU working time directive showed member states at loggerheads over when Britain should end its opt-out from the EU’s 48-hour maximum working week.
Employers and employees apparently are unable to work such arrangements out like adults in the EU.
I suppose next we’ll have self-employed folks being required to turn themselves in if they work too hard.
