E-conference - 20 April - "Teleworking & The right to disconnect"
In order to prepare the future negotiations on teleworking and the right to disconnect R&D invites you to the e-conference
The
right to disconnect
A fundamental right to protect workers’
health
Tuesday April 20 at 12h-13h30
with
Alex Agius Saliba
MEP and rapporteur of the decision concerning recommendations to
the Commission on the right to disconnect“We are in a situation where legislation
was drafted at a time when digitalisation was not as significant in our lives…
The
culture of being “always on” and the growing
expectation
that workers should be reachable at any time can negatively affect work-life
balance, physical and
mental health, and well -being."
On January 21, the European Parliament
(EP) adopted the resolution concerning recommendations to the Commission on the
right to disconnect ( 2019/2181(INL) ) since, to date, there is no legislation on this subject.
With this resolution, the EP wants to
protect the fundamental right of workers to disconnect and not to be available
after office hours.
R&D was the first Union to demand the Right
to Disconnect in order to preserve the health of the staff during this health
crisis (see: our actions, Le Renard Déchaîné ). We are receiving more and more complaints
from colleagues who find themselves overworked by their service, no longer
being able to preserve their privacy and finding themselves on the verge of
professional burnout and / or plagued by health issues such as musculoskeletal
problems..
The right to disconnect:
a
fundamental right also for the European Commission!
