Do you work to live or live to work?

This question affects every aspect of our lives, and it is one of the most relevant conundrums of modern times.

MEPs Alex Agius Saliba (S&D)Maria Walsh (EPP)Monica Semedo (RE) & EU40 are delighted to invite you to an exciting debate about the #Right2Disconnect!

It is common to see employees actively working - answering emails or calls - out of established working hours. It is almost customary for many employees within Europe to be in a perpetual state of connectedness to their work, at all times! This 24/7 working culture is detrimental to employees mental health and the development of their personal life.

On the 5th of December, in the European Parliament - JAN 65Q1 - we will be tackling this important right, and the need to officially legislate on it.
