There was a time that unions pushed for a 5-day, 40-hour work week and people thought it was radical.
Now it’s standard.
The 4-day, 32-hour work week is not radical, it’s rational.
Rest is a human right.

Wow, Dutch IT-firm Afas (600+ employees) is introducing a 4-day workweek. Staff will receive the same salary, but the office will be closed every Friday starting next year.

There’s more to a four-day week than you might think.🧊
ALT Iceberg. Labels from top to bottom go as follows: THE 4-DAY WEEK Woo an extra day off! Reduces carbon emissions Cuts childcare costs Encourages use of local services Fewer sickness and stress absences Helps businesses retain staff Narrows the gender pay gap Promotes healthy relationships

In an effort to prevent burnout, this company switched to "you do you" Fridays.
You can come in or not, the choice is up to you. If you want a 4-day week, that's cool.
What you absolutely can't do is text, email, or otherwise contact other workers on Fridays.

Record profits and productivity have not transformed the lives of workers — it has just made the rich richer.
A 32-hour workweek is a way for all workers to enjoy these gains while creating a more sustainable work-life balance.
Would a shortened workweek have a positive or negative effect on employee productivity? Tune in to hear @RepMarkTakano talk about his legislation to change the current 40-hour workweek to 32-hours.🔗

Since we went from a 1-day weekend to a 2-day weekend, we have grown far more productive, and pilot after pilot is showing that a 4-day 32-hour week does not reduce productivity. It's time to add another day to the weekend. Friday is the least productive day of the week anyway.

77% of Americans want a 4-day workweek.
Even corporate CEOs agree: it's the future.
Workers are 400% more productive than we were in the 1940s. They are also stressed out, anxious, and exhausted.
It's time for a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay.

Claims that a four-day week could 'widen inequality' are wrong and way off the mark.
Those that stand to benefit most include disabled people and those with caring responsibilities for whom an extra day off work each week (with no loss in pay) will make a tremendous difference.

Moving to a 32-hour workweek with no loss of pay is not a radical idea. It's time for working people to benefit from advancements in AI, automation, and new technology, not just corporate CEOs and wealthy stockholders on Wall Street.

How many women do you know that have reduced work hours for less pay but with the same job expectations?
The #4DayWeek is not a new idea - women have been doing it for years!
#Women4WorkTimeReduction champions structured, universal reduction in working time with no loss of pay.

This U.S. manufacturing company has abandoned a 5-day, 40-hour workweek & adopted a 4-day, 32-hour work week instead--all while paying workers the same amount
The workers and the owner say it's a resounding success
"We're getting more done in less time"
