Working Time saga set to continue

So, the saga of working time will continue (see my blog of monday).

Parliament today amended, instead of approved, Council's position, which means no legislation has been adopted. Instead, negotiations continue to seek a solution acceptable to both Parliament and Council.

In Britain, the trade unions, doctors, the BMA and others are happy with the amendments adopted by Parliament, while the government, the CBI and many businesses are not. However, all must now focus on seeking the agreement necessary for legislation to be adopted, with the give and take that that implies.
