Ahead of the Prime Minister's speech on Europe, the TUC said the government should abandon its obsession with the Working Time Directive, which guarantees millions of people a paid holiday and stops dangerous work being done by exhausted people.
'Forcing people to work longer hours is not the answer', said Frances O'Grady. 'Instead of tilting at the windmill of the Working Time Directive, the Prime Minister should be taking steps to raise UK productivity through more investment in training, jobs, infrastructure and a better work-life balance.'
