Workers in UK could get right to request four-day compressed week

• bell-cot 2y ago
  > Asked about jobs such as teachers, who would not be able to do a four-day week using compressed hours, Smith said: “Well, no, and nor can lots of other people, but that doesn’t mean that those people that can do it shouldn’t have the ability to do it.” Ditto retail and restaurant workers, lorry drivers, nurses, and millions more whose essential work already earns them "lessor" treatment than those in cushy office jobs. (And, under UK law, "gig workers" don't even count as humans...er, I mean as workers, for their sort to matter to anyone.)

    Nurses working less than 5 days a week are pretty common. In fact a lot of those you mention are not working 7 days a week, so shifts and overlaps allow a quite a lot of flexibility. Lorry drivers working 4 days on 4 days off?
