The European parliament has today voted on ending the UK's opt-out of a mandatory 48-hour working week.

This will enforce a maximum working week of 48 hours, meaning people working longer than this will be working illegally long hours.

Labour MEPs sided with trade unions to vote for the end of the opt-out, going against Gordon Brown's wishes.

The opt-out will still be in place until 2012 when a new round of negotiations will take place.

just another thing we are told what we can and cant do.surely if someone wants to work they should be allowed, breach of human rights if you ask me.

48 hour week  :'( , that would drop my wages a hell of alot  I normally end up doing 65 to 70 hours a week   ,so that would mean I would only be working for 3 and a half days a week

couldnt see my boss being too chuffed when I ring him up and say  cant go any further I ve done 48 hours, so  come and pick me up and bring another driver for the wagon,btw I'm in fraserburgh or somewhere equally far away from our yard in Stafford :P
