When I have vacation, I don’t want to be bothered with work related stuff either. I understand their want for a vacation, and they should not be blamed. The system that allows this chicanery is at fault here.

I don't want to be bothered while on vacation either, but if something happens at work that needs my specific attention someone will find me.

For fuck's sakes we can't be taking server rooms more seriously than democracy.

I’m sorry but you’re enabling this behavior. When I take an official holiday, I’m unavailable for work, simple as that. Work is a part of my life, not the definition of my life.

As per Wikipedia on the topic.

As of July 1, 2019, the monthly salary is of €8,932.86, or just over €107,000 per year.[15] MEPs also receive a general expenditure allowance of €4,563 per month.[15]

If I can be called in from vacation for €43k a year, these cunts can come in to vote for the fucking future of democracy for €107k.

Is it right to interrupt vacations? No. Does it matter in this case? Also the fuck no. The thing happened! They weren't there! If they want better rights or whatever I guess they should fucking unionise or whatever. Sitting out on a vote of this magnitude is beyond reprehensible.
