Can I be fired?
Let's say that I start not working on the weekends (in the EU it's illegal anyway), can my BB fire me? How would they motivate firing an employee that did not work when he was supposed not to?

On a side note, please be aware that you gave up the rights you are referring to - re illegal weekend work - when signing the contract (there is a clause about it), sorry..
Yes, if you stop doing your job (which involves weekend work) they can fire you...
This isn't the US, they would have to state that the reason is what? he didn't work on weekends?
Reason: HE IS A SOCIALIST PUSSY
isn’t that good enough?
Even in the EU, if you aren't being a "team player", you'll be fired sooner rather than later. The reason will never be that you weren't working on the weekends officially, but you'll certainly have people chasing a broken taillight and finding any other reason at all to let you go. A labor law technicality in a certain jurisdiction won't be a gating factor to getting rid of you if you don't play ball with the firm.
