This is a good deal for workers that want to worker longer hours. It also gives companies the flexability to schedule workers more work hours if need be.
The downside of this will result in fewer job openings. Instead of a company having to hire another worker to fill in the extra hours they can extend the hours of thier present workers.
Not sure why the unions are grumbling here. They have the power to negotaite working conditions for thier employees. It will be the non unionised employees that might be hurt with this new law.
If given the choice in Canada i'm sure there would be a lot of workers who would take the 35 hour work week so they can have more time with thier families.
