Over 30 EU lawmakers have signed a document that aims to ensure access to co-working spaces, prohibit tracking workers’ computers at home and protect them from having to send or respond to emails outside of working hours. The non-binding document was developed by the Future Workforce Alliance, a forum of politicians, business leaders and focused on policy changes in response to the digital transformation of work environments. Plus, how a drought in Mexico has resulted in a scarcity of chilli peppers to make hot sauce and why Singapore has been named the world’s most expensive city for a life of luxury. Will Bain discusses all this and more business news with two guests on opposite sides of the world: Stefanie Yuen Thio, Joint Managing Partner at TSMP Law in Singapore and Andy Uhler, an energy and environment journalist based in Texas.
