"35-hour week puts French hospitals at risk"

[timework@xxxxxxxxx (Tom Walker)]

Talk about a headline writer with an ax to grind! This story reports on how
the 35-hour week brings to a head an already existing problem with the
organization and staffing of French hospitals. It fails to mention that the
same problems are endemic in North America, where the 35-hour week plays no
role. The real headline should be "Overtime permits administrators to sweep
staffing crisis under the rug".
