Trod, it applies to most types of worker. If you want to work >48 hours/week (LOL), you can sign an opt out clause. Also, the 48hrs/week isn't a rigid measure that applies to every week, it's an average over, I think, a 17 week period, so all the Act does is give workers the right to say "No" to employers who want to exploit them without paying them any more - seems like a good thing to me.
Typical UK first jobber gets 3- 4 weeks off, gaining extra days with length of service. It would be illegal here for an employer to force an employee to take sick days as holiday, thank God.
