(26 October 2011) The ETUC and its affiliates are consulting on the mandate of the ETUC concerning the negotiations on changes to the Working time directive. EPSU has sent out the mandate to the Executive Committee members requesting a response 3 November.

The Executive Committee will consider this during its meeting 8-9 November. EPSU has adopted several positions on the Working Time Directive. We have also been actively engaged with the European Parliament.
