It wouldn't be a win-win if it results in less services being available in the EU - maybe services that are niche, that don't have the time to adapt to regulations, but would otherwise be useful to some of the people in the EU. Is there a way for a person in the EU to opt out?
- the_mitsuhiko 8y ago> It wouldn't be a win-win if it results in less services being available in the EU I don't think that's necessarily true. If a company does not provide the service in the EU but there is demand for it, someone else will fill the spot.
- sveme 8y agoYou want to opt out of laws? Laws are not mailing lists.
- glogla 8y ago> Is there a way for a person in the EU to opt out? No, and for a good reason. Just like if you could opt out of employee protection laws, the "opt out" would soon become mandatory to get a job.
- stordoff 8y agoFWIW, you _can_ opt out of certain employee protection laws: > You can choose to work more than 48 hours a week on average if you’re over 18. This is called ‘opting out’. > Your employer can ask you to opt out, but you can’t be sacked or treated unfairly for refusing to do so. https://www.gov.uk/maximum-weekly-working-hours/weekly-maximum-working-hours-and-opting-out https://www.gov.uk/maximum-weekly-working-hours/weekly-maxim...
- timrichard 8y agoAlso FWIW, it’s extremely common for UK recruitment agencies to suggest that contractors opt out of the Agency Workers Regulation. Which many do. Most, if I were to guess.
