50 hrs a week average? Have you opted out of the european working time directive then? (if it still applies)

no, the 'additional time as required' bit apparently gets around that.
Like I said, I am looking forward to getting a job where you can work from home sometimes, < 10 hours a day isn't seen as slacking, you receive training and you don't loathe going into work

Low frequency noise doesn't normally lead to headaches , unless it's infra sound in which case you won't be hearing it, just feeling odd, or you are super sensitive in which case you would most likely been suffering from simialr symptoms sporadically throught your life, Most likely cause was high EMF field from poorly sheilded electrical supply/power source the humming low frequency noise being and indicator of the problem rather than source.
if you need any more info drop me an email (in profile) I'm a occupational health and safety specialist, with lots of building accoustic and EMF experience.

I can't say for certain obviously and you know your employer better than anyone but I reckon you are about to get shafted. Get to your HR dept. and demand to know what redundancy you are entitled to. Get it in writing and then make your decision. I work for a firm who have made 50 odd people redundant recently and the way the senior management work quite frankly has made me question my position at the firm. Yours will be no different. Look after number 1 mate!! Only rule you ever need stick to.

company I work for, doesn't acknowledge unions or their representatives (US company).
tough shite - If you are in a union and you have an absolute right to join one they have no option.

No it doesn't. You have to have a separate signed optout that is not a part of your contract.

You want to try working all day with 27 5 and 6 yr olds!! Posted 2 years ago # -
TJ has it right. No signed opt-out no hours in excess of 48.
