Actually, that's not true. What's required is "free consent". Free consent means that there are no conditions attached. So, for example, employers have to be very careful that they don't pressure (even accidentally) their employees. Given that many employees will never say no, it's almost impossible for employers to ask for *free* consent to anything. -- Ian Eiloart Postmaster, University of Sussex +44 (0) 1273 87-3148
