The EU Parliament wants to allow bomb manufacturers and ammunition companies to bypass maximum work hours in case of a security crisis. Belgian representative Marc Botenga is not having it. He says the EU Parliament is betraying workers.

As company profits grow, so should the compensation of the workers. A war is a good time for bomb companies to profit wildly. 60 hour weeks are not sustainable though, in the long term - workers simply hit a productivity ceiling.
If there’s a war, and the 60 hour weeks are spent productively fighting the war, instead of keeping chairs warm for the managers, I’m confident many people will accept the effort.
