What a bloody useless article. Pages of waffle all for: "Employees from today will have the right to refuse contact outside their working hours unless that refusal is unreasonable."

Just like "may be require to work outside of Ferguson hours". That employers have abused for ages.

Pisses me off so badly. I already have the right to disconnect, it's called NOT WORKING FOR FUCKING FREE. By 'giving' us this right, they're legitimising previous rampaging over work/life balance

I think the aim for this law is to make it easier to empower employees to say ‘no’ with the risk of high fines as a deterrent. Whether it makes a difference or whether employers will simply force you to agree to contact outside of work hours via updated job contracts, is anyone’s guess.
