Re: This is unnecessary
it's a mandatory protection for wage slaves
Not the same situation. No-one should be forced to work hours they haven't agreed to, and there are existing laws to prevent that. This proposal is to set limits on what an employee can agree to, even if they want to. That is not acceptable. If I want to answer my phone at weekends if my boss calls that's my choice, no-one else's.
You seem to have a boss who is comprehensive enough to let you organize yourself.
Well, I have a boss that treats me as an adult, as have all my bosses for the past 40-odd years. I wouldn't work for someone who didn't.
