That’s been answered more than once before. Try the GDPR, Acquired Rights Directive, Working Time Directive, Agency Workers Directive just for starters. Did you not appreciate how bureaucratic the EU is? You should try setting up and running a business. Nightmare!

Re: Britain outside the EU

Fatherless EU laws protecting the employees’ rights and not letting multi-national corporations do what they want with our personal data…

I’ve never understood the whining about Working Time Directive - if employees want to work longer hours, they can just opt out; what the employer can’t do is make them work those hours without agreement.

Like this splendid chap:

They did, we had people on here who thought they were voting to leave the echr and as a protest and they're just two of the knuckle heads I remember and there were others even amongst our small sample pool

People aren't so stupid that they don't realise a cut in regulations means a cut to their rights and protections and aren't in their best interests it's the same with tax cuts, they're not meant for the little people

As mentioned more than once before, the rights of UK citizens can still be protected, but in a less bureaucratic way.

Because if you read it, the Working Time Regulations goes beyond just the 48 hour week.

Re: Britain outside the EU

I have read it (many times in the past, having run large teams/departments) - can you give examples of what the actual problems are (besides your stock answer of "too bureaucratic")?

These all look eminently sensible to me…

Quote:
the maximum weekly working hours, and how someone can work more hours if they choose

rest during the working day, week and year

young workers' maximum working hours and rest breaks

night work

special arrangements when there's an emergency or if someone is not able to take their rest

holiday entitlement

Call me a mad old fool but I'm not interested in can where my conditions and rights are concerned, I'd like the new plan set out before the old one is surrendered, we've been here before with trusting to hope and we held all the cards then too

And that is a fair point. The government needs to get on with it to prove the doubters wrong.

That’s a "no", then…

Here’s a handy hint - if you’ve answered it before, why not just link to those posts?

I seem to remember OB once letting slip he worked for the council.

Wonder if he walked to work, put his sandwiches in a Sunblest bag and if the children called him Bogie?
