Why don't you read what I've actually said in this conversation (not just the post you quoted). I totally support workers' rights for the reasons you've given, especially as they have an opt out. But the onus now being put on UK employers by the CJEU is a step too far.

As regards France/Germany, I haven't mentioned Germany. France is another matter; their restrictive working practices that Macron has tried unsuccessfully to remove are the reason for the WTD having been forced through the majority voting route. I object to such shenanigans which is very much what the EU condones.
