Four the Win

One of the issues at the core of the UAW strike is at the core of many labor debates these days. Is five days a week too much work? And can employees be equally productive in four days? Quartz: US auto workers are joining the push for a four-day work week. And from CNN: Contract negotiations: UAW strike puts the four-day workweek back in focus. “Proposals to shorten the workweek have gained traction in recent years, with the flexibility of pandemic-era remote work fueling many of these calls. The accelerating use of artificial intelligence in the workplace has also pushed some workers to question the necessity of a 40-hour week.”
