EU Working Time Directive Opt Out = Cop Out


Let's examine the logic - It is a bad idea to restrict the hours people work as it does not allow 'flexible working'.

Is there anybody who reads a job ad who doesn't read 'flexlible working' and read 'sell your soul to our company, give up your free time on demand and work whenever it suits us'?

Also, surely allowing someone to work, say 50 hours a week on a regular basis, means preventing the creation of another part-time job of 12.5 hours a week which would ultimately cost the same?
Well, I say cost the same, it would if people got paid for these additional hours but how many do?
