Maltese MEP Alex Agius Saliba has urged EU policymakers not to drag their feet in passing a directive that would grant workers across member states the right to disconnect.
On Thursday the European Parliament voted to adopt a report spearheaded by Agius Saliba that formally recommends that the European Commission propose a directive on the right to disconnect, a move that would see a minimum set of standards implemented in all EU member states.
“We’ve worked tirelessly on these resolutions for the past year and this vote was a win for workers across the European Union,” Agius Saliba said.
