The European social partners, trade unions and employers, have just concluded a European Union wide agreement guaranteeing the rights of teleworkers, postal workers and the rights of workers sent to other countries. The working time directive guarantees, among other things, the right to four weeks' annual holidays. Deputy Joe Higgins, Sinn Féin and the Green Party, who purport to represent the working class, are asking the citizens of our sovereign republic to vote against those directives next Saturday.
