DISAGREEMENT TO CHANGE THE BOARD OF WORK TIME MANAGEMENT is a new victory for workers

The attack on social Europe posed by the Directive of 65 hours has stopped. The conciliation procedure in the review of Directive management of working time ended yesterday without agreement between the European Parliament and Council.

On the contrary, his proposals have been aimed at dismantling the Directive current working time arrangements, which already provides a very low level of protection of workers.

The passage of the clause "opt-out" would have undermined the power of unions and was over binding collective agreements. "

" The Commission and the Council also failed in their attempt to eliminate the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Communities on the compensatory time in sectors such as health emergency, fire and emergency services. "
Meyer completed supporting demonstrations proposals by European trade unions from 14 to 17 May and said "that the United Left will continue to work to stall the offensive and proposed Directive of 65 hours and the introduction of a 35-hour week
