Working Time negotiations: we note with regret that the employers proposals are very unbalanced
Convened on 5 and 6 December, the Executive Committee of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) discussed extensively the submitted interim report on the progress of negotiations to revise the European directive on working time. The Committee regretted to note that the “final offer” from the employers was not sufficiently balanced, and consequently did not make it possible to continue the negotiations as such.
There is an obvious link between long and irregular working hours and health problems related to work. The protection of the health and safety of workers must therefore remain the prime objective of any revision of the directive.
