Which is why the negotation position of the union also includes a 8.5% wage increase.....
They're not going to lose money though, 4 days just means you work slightly longer days and get the 5th off. Why we haven't jumped to this yet is insane...hell they could do 1/2 staff Monday and half Friday and then you would have less traffic, more people going out to small shops and enjoying their time and the company would have people working 5 days a week still...4 day work weeks should have been brought up when we all started working on computers and production jumped %1000
This is about 32h instead of 35h. So 8h per day and 4 days per week.
