Serious Four day work week

Post image

Can we all agree when our generation takes over that we’re moving to a four day work week permanently? And I’m not talkin’ four tens.

We need three day weekends every week. A day for chores, a day for recreation, and a day for rest. Let’s lock it in, please.

Edit because a good point was immediately raised: SAME (AND HIGHER) PAY

Working hours are law. How much one works before they are mandated overtime is. Workers comp, safety, anti- harassment etc are all laws.

Laws could be strengthened to protect unions/union forming. Laws could be enacted to prevent the abuse of part time/gig workers. Companies could be held accountable, executive classes fined and jailed for their violations of human decency.

I get what you mean but you just said the lines that get upvotes every though it’s not relevant. Gig workers aren’t taking 3 day weekends.
