I'm less worried about although changes to your working contract are more likely through that. breaks/overtime companies already take the **** but for most work have a required amount of time is important.  Plus enforced overtime is not good for those wanting a good work/life balance.

My main worry is firing laws especially in the current economic climate. It's a **** to get rid of people (who have been working for you for 2 years) but it protects people massively financially combined with redundancy laws. People in general could get royally ******.
