"Naturally, I agree with the need to protect workers from all risks to their health and safety at work. There is already broad agreement on this Europe and other developed countries and an appropriate body of legislation.
Happily, we are far removed from the black picture of working conditions in the United Kingdom that Charles Dickens described in the 19th century. Without jeopardising this already established protection, it is important to think whether this is the time to ask for more protection for workers. The truth is that we are going through a most difficult economic crisis and unemployment is on the rise throughout Europe.
This may be the time for us to create more jobs to boost the European economy and not to create more rules and more obligations for employers. Otherwise, ultimately, we risk hurting the workers we want to protect."@en1
