itsnotoutthere Posted July 8 #1 Share Posted July 8 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”. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/more-councils-told-to-plan-for-four-day-week-under-labour/ar-BB1pBJkC?ocid=BingNewsSerp "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”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsnotoutthere Posted July 8 Author #3 Share Posted July 8 Think we can take a look at DVLA and HMRC to see how well this will pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
