Most employees have plenty of choice, unless they work in the NHS. Jobs are advertised with the hours expected. If it matters to you that you don't work Sundays and not more than 48 hours per week, then don't apply for a job that requires this.

The process may not have been ideal, but the outcome was optimal (unless you are an employer who didn’t want to give your employees decent holidays or working hours).

Fair enough. Actually I didn't say it was a bad thing although I like the idea of the UK being more competitive than France by being more flexible in terms of labour laws. As it happens, we secured opt-outs that I find acceptable.

The con was the device used to thwart our veto. It's one of the reasons I hate them as an institution.

You know that European Army we were told, by Europhile Nick Clegg, would never happen?

Well, typically, and as I have previously commented on, here it comes.

And Macron, the stupid French Twit, reckons they need it to protect themselves against the US?? That’s just offensive.

So you see the end game here is to dissolve NATO. Well I know who I would rather pin my allegiance too. The yanks or cheese eating surrender monkeys.............

My point is that employers want employees to be totally flexible to their needs and that, whilst this law does exist and will help some people, most will ultimately have no choice.

Hi, I have been trying to find anything about France making this an H&S issue but I haven’t had luck yet. Could you link me up? I worked ld be interested to know basis the WTD was before the change.

I did find an interesting parliamentary research paper discussing the WTD including the UK objections to the H&S basis of the WTD and the subsequent ECJ judgement. It also has nice appendices on the working hours and holidays of different then EU countries - http://researchbriefings.files.parli...6/RP96-106.pdf

This is why we need to leave the EU in it's entirety - we do not need to be in a con job membership club to do trade deals. The other benefit is, we also save £39 Billion divorce bill, another con the corrupted EU said we owe them, they have robbed us and conned us for years - time to get on and leave that toxic shambolic union.
Mick whilst it may not be just about the money there are a LOT of businesses exposed. It is not only the loss of trade but many took a big hit, particularly on cash reserves when pound fell after the vote. Another drop of 10%+ will kill many businesses. There is much more to it than in any out especially if profitable businesses can't pay wages because they ain't got cash.

Duh.......Dave i’m Starting to worry that you’re not the sharpest tool in the box, so to speak.

Because, pretty much since the end of the war, and certainly in recent years, the US has pretty much bankrolled NATO and most of the EU, post Cold War.

The reason Trump questioned the US role in NATO was because the EU members were/are taking the piss. Spending sod all and relying on the US to provide the muscle.

I agree with Trump on this issue.

Why don't you just stick to the facts and avoid the personal attacks?

Go for the ball, not the man. You weaken your subsequent points by your unnecessary put-down.

No wonder nothing.

Banks is a multi millionaire, the fines imposed are small change to him - it's not bad news for him or Brexiteers.

- you keep going on about him but he did not help me make my decision to vote leave and I am damn well sure that goes for millions of others. There is nothing to discuss about Banks.
Not an obsession. But a bit strange that on a day when he's found to be breaking the law, Brexiiters suddenly become interested in the Working Time Directive. :D

That link will do. The French thing is well known by those watching it at the time; they are also the ones that opposed the Services Directive for the same reasons.

You're being ridiculous. What's the big deal with Banks? To hell with him and the clutching at straws that some Remainers have in their heads.

I brought in the WTD not as a diversion from Banks but to keep us focused on the shenanigans of the EU and in that case protection of France's interests. Are you Remainers really respecters of the rigged Cap (in favour of France)? Are you really in favour of the rigged Euro (in favour of Germany)? Are you really in favour of the perfidious Irish using the CU to try and keep us shackled to the EU (in favour of Irish exports)?

You might well argue, and some of you have, that we brought this on ourselves by voting Leave. Be that as it may, the EU are determined to wreck Brexit and they should be vilified for their perfidy rather than the democratic Leave vote.
