France is proposing a ban on work phones and computers after hours
Are work emails and other digital communication eating too much into your private life?
It's a growing problem in modern society, so much so that in France they're introducing a law to control it. The so-called 'right to disconnect' will oblige companies to sign a charter with employees stating the hours -- in the evening and at weekends -- when work phones and computers should not be consulted.
The 麻豆社's Paris correspondent Hugh Schofield hears differing views on the proposal.
