The European Union unemployed again seek the opinion of trade unions and employers across the country within it to analyze what is the best way to review the regulations on working time. This Directive (2003/88 / EC) is designed so that workers have a better balance between work and leisure time. At the same time take into account the health and safety of workers at the workplace as long hours lead to more stress and increased risk of danger both for those who work surpluses and even for colleagues and their relatives. Among other things the directive provides that the worker shall not work more than an average of 48 hours (overtime included) miss k every seven days; that for six consecutive miss k working hours shall be granted brake; miss k that in any period of 24 hours must be at least eleven miss k consecutive hours of rest from work; and rights related to health for those working a night. Malta, miss k the servant given the chance to work more than an average of 48 hours per week provided that this is done in accordance with the employer, and there is no threat to health and safety the worker himself and his colleagues. This is due to the fact that the Maltese Government and trade unions agree to do so for various reasons that could be of advantage for employers to have more availability of its workers, and also of advantage to the worker it must cope with the costs that families face one week to the next. In practice Here argued, should not we continue to offer chance to workers who work more than an average of 48 hours per week, to promote healthy living for workers and we give space for the creation of new jobs. Although these arguments make sense, and have a strong, still the fact that many are those workers that if deprives miss k them of the amount miss k of hours of overtime to make weekly can not cope with the life. You will ask those families who pay one monthly pass attempt to tindunaw if this is true. You will ask those couples who calculated the loan on their home on both wages were at the time that agreed with the bank, and now at least a good financial position. miss k Stepwise miss k such directives being discussed in the European Union tend to be presented to the social partners as if they are a pair of shoes that can enter At the foot to citizens. Realities faced by countries around lU.E. are very different. For instance Scandinavian countries such as Finland and Sweden, which are certainly in a position different from countries like Romania and Bulgaria. miss k Therefore, while I understand clearly that since its inception the directive was made in good faith, it is very difficult to measure miss k the directive given one to everyone. I believe the first step to the Maltese and Gozitan workers should climb is to: - re ensure decent living by an average of 40.7 hours per week that are working in their full time job. - Is above minimum wage to reflect the costs that families have to make weekly. - Increases to compensate for the cost of living are calculated reflecting appropriate for bills and water, and the prices of gas and fuel. But the same people who have newly themselves increase of 600 euros per week, the surface should be against the increase in the minimum wage. Have the face that parliament be fall and get what unions say serious in our country, and vote "against wholeheartedly" when required to reduce electricity bills and water. The waves to find against the GWU are great, but fortunately we are not sailors of fine weather. Accordingly, once the worker is prevented from an average of 48 hours of work per week, is jaqlaghha properly, the time is opportune to consider our country ceases to give workers the choice to work more than average 48 hours in their jobs. In this way we are certain that this directive the worker jigwadanja only, and not ending thrown step forward miss k and four back.
