“I believe that people deserve to spend more time with their families, loved ones, hobbies and other aspects of life, such as culture. This could be the next step for us in working life,” the prime minister commented on the new proposal.

Overtime exists. You’ll just get paid more if you work 60h. If your employer allows you to work that much.
Sorry, my point is that there are fundamentally-different-motivations, & that fundamentally-different-motivations have to be treated differently, legally … exactly the same as people-without-family can probably work significantly more hours per week than can people-with-children-to-care-for.
It isn’t a question of just putting overtime above 40h/week, it is a question of having 2 distinct populations in the same workforce, & you don’t make the law ignore 1 of them, not the with-family people, AND not the without-family people.

Sorry but this way you can get paid more if you work more than 40 hours a week. Or are you saying you want to work more without being paid more?
You may not know this…
Many businesses put employee overtime hours “in the bank”, so they never pay overtime: they just provide you with regular-pay when you’re on holiday.
Illegal, but with bribed gov’t, it’ll never be stopped.
Other employers just disallow the extra-hours.
It’s common enough…
“aren’t you feeling lucky to be employed??”
is a significant threat, in some job-markets…

Well then you can work two jobs if you can’t do overtime but want to work more than 40. But without the 40 hour regulation, everyone would have to work more than 40.
