Another reason to vote No to Lisbon
Sarkozy wants to end France's 35 hour week and last night the EU decided to increase the working week from a maximum of 48 hours to up to 65 hours.
Mr Sarkozy wants to end France's 35 hour week and last night the EU decided to increase the working week from a maximum of 48 hours to up to 65 hours! These developments clearly give the lie to the EU becoming more 'social' If it was really becoming more social it would be lowering the working week to at least 35 hours as is still the case in France or even better to a 30 hour working week as many French NGO's looked for. Unless the EU takes a genuine social direction it deserves no support. It would behoove them better to improve the quality of life of its workers and their families, rather than persecuting whistleblowers who bravely exposed the well documented and massive corruption in the EU commission and other EU structures over the past number of years.
