UK's TUC union makes case for limit on working week

Britain's TUC union today published a pamphlet setting out the case for a limit on the working week, ahead of an EU meeting on Thursday at which the British government will argue to keep the UK's opt-out from the European 48-hour maximum.

EU employment ministers meeting in Luxembourg on June 2 will discuss a European Parliament vote to end Britain's opt-out, which British Prime Minister Tony Blair has vowed to overturn.
