Yes, with exemptions.We already had that since the working time directive came in years. Anyone can opt out
But, you could, for example, limit the recourse for workers to make a claim against an employer.

No surprise there are shortages, your point?junior doctors already do.
Make no mistake they have been shafted, no detail about it, they are very clear on a number of issues.The devil is in the detail, in this case specifically the quotas for individual fish. Whilst overall the UK fishing industry will have more than doubled their quotas over the next 5 years, that isn't the case for Cornish guys, who predominantly fish within the 12 mile zone. In many cases their quotas haven't increased at all, especially in the high end products that fetch the best prices. They feel as though they've been stuffed by the Tories and rightly so.
That needs sorting out quickly. As usual with this government there is a lack of detail coming out as to what the problem is. Hopefully they are teething issues but it would be nice to know. It's in everyone's interest to get it sorted because the UK fish industry is losing income and the European supermarkets and fish merchants have some empty shelves and disappointed customers.
You say they can 'opt' out for years. NSO said that employers will be able to 'force' us to work more than 48 hrs pw. Big difference in those two verbs, no?We already had that since the working time directive came in years. Anyone can opt out
I also added that if you reduce the opportunities for recourse to employees, you de facto give the employer the chance to 'force' staff to 'opt in'.You say they can 'opt' out for years.

They're North Sea based boats. Most Cornish boats are so small it would take them a week to even get to Denmark.No surprise there are shortages, your point?

it's sorted. More and more Uk fisherman are docking and unloading in Denmark, it only becomes origin once landed at dock. Avoids the paper work Good news for Denmark.processing plants etc. Not so good for those in the UK.

Give it 5-10 years mate...patienceMeanwhile, in other not so great news, UK meat exporters appear to be less than delighted with our new world beating, post Brexit export procedures.
UK meat exporters have claimed post-Brexit customs systems are "not fit for purpose", with goods delayed for hours, sometimes days, at the border.
Down at the international freight checkpoint in Ashford, near the entrance to the Eurotunnel, customs consultant Steve Cocks gave a downbeat assessment.
"The temporary border post lorry park is full, roads are being closed off and lorries are being sent back to the Covid testing site to hold them there," he said.
If only the Government had some way of knowing this would happen..............Prosper mightily we will, just wait and see !

"It's taking them [on the French side] up to six hours to go through the health certificates, to open up the lorry and check the goods.
Not like the French is it?

I'm agreeing with youControl and Access to fishing Opportunitie and Market Access.
"That optimism has been shattered by broken promises and betrayal by Boris Johnson and his Government in a Ted Heath style moment that saw fishing sacrificed again.
The Cornish fishing industry has been used and abused; used as a poster boy and illustration of what the UK could gain through Brexit and taking back control. Abused by being sold out in the final analyses for others. Any shred of trust fishermen had in politicians will be difficult to ever rebuild.
The £100 million support package spoken about by Johnson and Gove is nothing more than a cheap insult and in truth is a pathetic attempt to cover what we and they know to be a betrayal of Cornish and British fishermen.
It has never been about money for fishermen it has been about a fair deal that secured control over our fishing waters and a fair share of fishing opportunities (quota) based on zonal attachment.
This is not the deal fishermen were promised and it is important MPs and the public understand this and are not misled by Government spin to the contrary".
Do your best. But sounds like blackmail haThey are controlling their borders, and protecting their consumers.
Oh, btw, remember you asked for facts about having a previous account(s) on here? Depends how bored I get, or tedious you get.
