"Madam President, a hundred years ago, our forefathers fought for an eight-hour working day, a dignified life and better working conditions. A labour code is a piece of legislation under which a state provides a system of fundamental social rights for workers. The current government in Slovakia is preparing an amendment to its Labour Code that will increase working time to 56 hours per week and overtime from the current 400 hours to 560 hours. In addition, it places workers at a disadvantage, creates uncertainty for those in employment, and reduces financial support for those who lose their jobs. Paradoxically, the new rules are also destabilising for employers. Trade unions have taken to the streets to voice their opposition to the Labour Code amendment. The European Parliament declared 2010 the year for combating poverty. All of Europe is fighting against poverty. The Slovak Government will fuel unemployment and increase poverty with this Labour Code."@en1
