Removing 48-hour working week opt-out ‘would damage careers’
Removing the UK's working time opt-out would restrict employees' freedom and damage their career prospects, according to the Confederation of British Industry (CBI).
The claim by the CBI precedes a EU committee meeting to discuss whether the UK will be allowed to keep the opt-out of the 48-hour week that the Working Time Directive established in most European member states.
"The legislation proposed by some politicians would impose a ban on working longer hours and not take into account individual circumstances and ambitions," said John Cridland, deputy director general of the CBI.
