lpv:translated text	". The parliamentary group of the Communist Party of Greece will be voting against the 'organisation of working time' directive, because it is a vengeful attack by the EU, the urban governments and big business on the rights of the working class. The aim of the proposals by the Commission and the rapporteur is to undermine working time by introducing two new terms – active on-call time and inactive on-call time – and more flexible working time in order to increase the profits of big business. The time referred to as inactive on-call time does not count as working time, despite the fact that the employee is at the employer's disposal. Thus, Pandora's Box has been opened and employment law has been blown sky high. The definition of working time and the length of the working day are matters which have been the subject of class-based conflict between the working class and big business for many years. The consequences for the working class are painful: more unpaid work, whenever and however the needs of capitalist production dictate, thereby undermining collective labour agreements, the intensification of slavery, more accidents at work, worsening insurance and pension terms, drastic reductions in free time for social activity and the breakdown of family life. The Communist Party of Greece is helping to reconfigure and reinforce the class-based orientation of the working-class movement, in order to bring about radical changes and satisfy the contemporary needs of the working and grass-roots classes."@en1
