Most Current news on EU Sunday Legislation

[taikachanz]

For those of you who are interested and like to track this issue I've found out why it is so hard to google "Sunday Laws" or "Sunday Legislation" and get very little direct info, other then news clips, from out of the EU. It's because the titles don't have anything to do with Sunday Laws or Legislation. To find pertenant informations google "work time directive". You'll get actually progress reports on what's going on. Mind you, you'll have to dig through a lot of other stuff to find reference to the Sunday Legislation, but it is there and as you read through the documents, progressively, you'll find out about the original "bill" and what happened to Sunday legislation at the first and how the mindset has been changing over the years. Pay special attention to how things are worded and compare that to what the supporters of Sunday legislation are presenting this to the EU committee. Hope this helps you see how close we are.

Unfortunately I haven't posted enough post yet to be able to post links, when that is accomplished I will do so, until then google and follow those links. Most of the documents I found are pdf files directly from a EU website.
