IN the NEWS - A Reminder from Belgium

You do know that a Government that has the authority to mandate a 4 day work week can also, by the same authority vested in it, mandate a 6 day work week with Sunday off....just a Reminder of things to come...
The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor.. Proverbs 28:16

"Workers in Belgium will soon be able to choose a four-day week under a series of labor market reforms announced on Tuesday. The draft reform package agreed by the country's federal government will grant employees the ability to request a four-day week.

The reform package agreed by the country's multi-party coalition government will also give workers the right to turn off work devices and ignore work-related messages after hours without fear of reprisal.
Workers will also be able to request variable work schedules. The minimum notice period for shifts is also changing, with companies now required to provide schedules at least seven days in advance.
 
In January, civil servants working for Belgium's federal government were given the right to disconnect, allowing them to turn off work devices and ignore messages after hours without reprisals from bosses.Now all Belgian workers, including those in the private sector, will receive the same right." euronews
