Good to see this endorsement from the Welsh Government’s working group.

The Petitions Committee committee backed a public sector trial following our inquiry into a Four Day Week Cymru.

I look forward to seeing how WG responds and implements the recommendations.

Remember the UK's four-day pilot?

Tomorrow, a year since those results, we will publish a follow-up:

Mary McGovern Interesting. One for BrendanBurchell who has been leading the research on this subject.

Thank you Sarah Jaffe for this amazing piece on the labor movement's generation-defining fight for the 4-day, 32-hour week! Ft. our amazing Advisory Council member, Juliet Schor too :)

Moving to a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay is not radical. What's radical is that over $50 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% over the past 50 years. It's time that the financial gains from new technology benefit workers, not the 1%.

Using a novel sample of 500+ platform workers in the UK gig economy we find that despite seeing themselves as self-employed, these workers want labour rights including the minimum wage, sick pay and protection against unfair dismissal.

We have a new British Journal of Industrial Relations article out 'What do platform workers in the UK gig economy want?' onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… Gig Rights Project Nick Martindale BrendanBurchell University of Bristol Business School Cambridge Sociology Nuffield College

always good to work with the BBC

Spardabank and ver.di - Vereinte Dienstleistungsgewerkschaft signed a historic collective agreement to move to a 35-hour week by 2025.
This is the first 🇩🇪 bank that's moving to a 35-hour week for its roughly 800 workers
