Info: The demand for a reduction of work is as old as the Labour movement itself. Generations of trade unionists and socialists knew that time spent at work is political – their struggles won us the weekend. But now the nine-to-five, five-days-a-week model for full-time work is outdated and failing. With the Labour Party recently campaigning on their boldest election manifesto in a generation, a radical agenda for a new economy has never been closer to Westminster. It is time to grab this opportunity and move towards a 4 Day Week.
