New Unite 'Working Time Regulations 2008' guide now available
9 October
2008
The European Working Time Directive (EWTD) has ensured UK
workers have gained many valuable employment rights, such as the
right to paid holidays, a maximum working week and the right to
rest. The EWTD was designed as a measure to improve workers'
health and safety, and where the UK government has not fully
implemented the EWTD into UK law, Unite has led the campaign to
rectify this. As detailed in this guide, this has ultimately
led to Unite initiating legal action which has ended up in the
European Court to get the Government to make the necessary changes
to UK law.
