Extremely bad decision. 4 day week with same hours- but compressed; is proven to reduce costs & increase efficiency & productivity. Thus an increase in healthier mental states, thus less strain on the NHS, thus a boost in the economy.

Coincidentally, Iām reading Sam Freedmanās āFailed Stateā and am at the part describing how central government canāt effectively run the nation because it spends too much time micromanaging local authorities.Ā

Not only will Westminster not attempt anything remotely progressive or radical, they will actively prevent anyone else from trying it in case it makes them look bad.

The 1 council that did move to a 4 day week have apparently performed worse. Lets not all pretend a 4 day week is the saviour to all our problems
Just like WFH, it works for some more than others

Westminster simply shouldnāt have this level of centralising control over councils. It should be up to local people to decide and vote on.
If it doesnāt work for their council they can vote someone else in.
Labour are control freaks sadly once they get in power

Councils ordered to ignore the scientific findings of the multitude of benefits of a four day work week.
There fixed it.

Yet, the torygraph will write non-stop dogwater articles and opinion pieces about how left-wing and woke the Labour Govt are. Total horseshit of course.
The 4 day work week is a step in the right direction. Anyone against it is an enemy of the people are should be treated accordingly in public. Make them miserable.

Donāt do it because of optics.

Interesting, but kinda makes sense. Some council services need to be 5 days a week to give people more accessibility to those services. Why should those services work 40 hours for band x pay and others 32.
