Of all the bargaining goals set out by the United Auto Workers union in the just completed talks, none was more ambitious, or gained less traction in negotiations, than the idea of a four-day, 32-hour work week.
Fighting for a 32h/4day work week is a great way to get a proper 40h/5day work week as a concession. But I’ve heard some union contracts get 72h/9 day fortnights (5-4-5-4) so that’s a promising sign.
