Because that's not the point of the article? If it explained every last detail it would be an essay not an article, I mean heaven forbid if someone didn't know what it was, it's almost as if they could use this fantastic tool called a search engine.
Quote:Quote:In general the Working Time Regulations provide rights to: a limit of an average 48 hours a week on the hours a worker can be required to work, though individuals may choose to work longer by "opting out" paid annual leave of 5.6 weeks' a year. 11 consecutive hours' rest in any 24-hour period.
Basically David Cameron was demanding that bosses could force employees to work longer than 48 hours without giving them an option to opt out. In a land of zero hours contracts, and the Beecroft reports, just be glad that the EU turned him down.
Shows how biased the Telegraph is that they didn't mention you.
The biased telegraph that is basically saying he failed on the majority of what he demanded anyway. Lol. Yeah, biased tory newspaper alright lmao.
