“It's hard to say whose lives this law improves. People in work are not interested in boosted productivity and marginal economic gains if their strike, union and part of their holiday rights are sacrificed in the process. The economy currently has a plentiful surplus - something I am sure the centre-right government will look to maintain - and it is worthless trying to slightly expand it by first denying lifelong workers the chance to retire at a reasonable age, and second denying them guaranteed access to eldercare.”
