A SHOCKING 40% of operators remain ignorant about the Working Time Directive despite the fact it will be introduced in less than a year's time, shows a CM poll.
The results of the poll carried out by Michelin Truck Marketing expose widespread ignorance of the major changes, which include a 48-hour working week and a cap on working over 60 hours.
Michelin surveyed 156 commercial vehicle fleet operators; its results show just 58% of the companies who were aware of the WTD knew the date when the legislation becomes effective. A derisory 16% were taking any action.
