A DRIVE to end Brit-ain’s culture of long working hours has ground to a halt in Yorkshire, it is claimed.
A survey by the TUC showed nearly 12% of people in the region work more than 48 hours a week – a figure unchanged from 2006.
The law protects people against an average working week of more than 48 hours unless they opt out of the working time rules.
The TUC said: “Good employers have responded to concerns about the need for a greater work-life balance, but these figures show that a hard core of bad employers are taking no notice of either the law or calls from government, progressive employers and unions.”
