Glib responses have little worth.

Gravity is a universal force. The WTD is a contrivance to suit poor working practices elsewhere, particularly France.

Your prejudices against France and Germany blind you from the obvious need for such a law. This seems reasonable to me:

It gives EU workers the right to at least 4 weeks in paid holidays each year, rest breaks, and rest of at least 11 hours in any 24 hours; restricts excessive night work; a day off after a week's work; and provides for a right to work no more than 48 hours per week. It was issued as an update on earlier versions from 22 June 2000 and 23 November 1993. Since excessive working time is cited as a major cause of stress, depression and illness, the purpose of the directive is to protect people's health and safety.
