More councils told to ‘plan for four-day week’ under Labour.

Dozens more councils could switch to a four-day working week under Labour despite Britain’s productivity crisis.

The 4 Day Week Campaign, which has called for a nationwide trial, said a more “sympathetic Labour government” could pave the way for more local authorities to switch to a shorter week.

It comes after Lib Dem-run South Cambridgeshire district council was last year ordered to stop a three month pilot over concerns the experiment broke the law and deprived taxpayers of essential services.

Independent analysis of the trial published on Monday said the four-day week resulted in improved productivity and performance, with fewer refuse collectors quitting and planning decisions being made more quickly.

Joe Ryle, of the 4 Day Week Campaign, said the results of the trial were proof that “a four-day week with no loss of pay absolutely can succeed in a local government setting”.

Think we can take a look at DVLA and HMRC to see how well this will pan out.
