The CBI today commented on the breakdown of talks in Brussels on the EU Working Time Directive. The breakdown means that people in the UK can still choose to opt out of the 48-hour working week.
John Cridland, CBI Deputy Director-General, said:
ìWe welcome the retention of the opt-out, which we have been calling for in London and Brussels. It allows people to make their own decision about the hours they work. Keeping the opt-out is a victory for common sense and is good for the UK economyî.
