> It is not the duty of the lawmaker but of the contracting parties (= employer and employee) to define the amount of work hours per day. Who mentioned lawmakers? I only see two contracting parties here: the municipal government in Gothenburg, and a group of its employees. This idea that there's a short and slippery slope between 'City municipality experiments to find the most efficient working day for its employees' and 'GOVERNMENT BANS ANYONE WORKING MORE THAN SIX HOURS' is, ISTM, dubious.
