Worker protections enshrined in EU law — including the 48-hour week — would be ripped up under plans being drawn up by the government as part of a post-Brexit overhaul of UK labour markets. 

The package of deregulatory measures is being put together by the UK’s business department (Beis) with the approval of Downing Street, according to people familiar with the matter. It has not yet been agreed by ministers — or put to the cabinet — but select business leaders have been sounded out on the plan.

The proposed shake-up of regulations from the “working time directive” will delight many Tory MPs but is likely to spark outrage among Britain’s trade union leaders.

The move would potentially mark a clear divergence from EU labour market standards but the UK would only face retaliation from Brussels under the terms of its new post-Brexit trade treaty if the EU could demonstrate the changes had a material impact on competition.

The main areas of focus are on ending the 48-hour working week, tweaking the rules around rest breaks at work and not including overtime pay when calculating some holiday pay entitlements, according to people familiar with the plans.

The government also wants to remove the requirement of businesses to log the detailed, daily reporting of working hours, saving an estimated £1bn.

I dont care what any poll says, 40% of people are not going to vote for these douchebags in four years with Brexit being 'done'. They are starting to now bring in some heavy Thatcherite policies.

Famously nobody ever voted for Thatcher.

Those banana splits have been champing at the bit to abolish the working time directive ever since it was introduced. According to a government minister it's not going to happen so you can put money on it happening before the end of the month.

This is obviously terrible but every job I've ever had has had in the contract "I opt out of the EU working time directive", which I was forced to sign or not get the job. Did that directive actually impact our lives when we were in the EU? Or are other protections being eroded too?

This, essentially. It’s strawberry floating outrageous what they’re doing, I’m almost at the point of caving in to the wife’s wish to migrate back down under.

I'd quote the last sentence of this in the No Context thread but don't want to undermine the reality of the context!

[Corazon de Leon]

Yeah please don't.
