Should Italy transition to a four-day workweek?
Countries including Ireland, Scotland, Japan, and Sweden are experimenting with a four-day workweek, which requires employers to provide overtime pay to employees working more than 32 hours per week.

40 hours a week, 5-day work week.
@7PTCG381yr1Y
Yes, as long as workers are not exploited by being required to work more than forty hours per week on a regular basis
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, as long as employees are not exploited by being required to work an increased number of total weekly hours on a regular basis
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, as long as employees are not exploited by being required to work an increased number of total weekly working hours on a regular basis
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, as long as employees are not exploited by an increased number of required working hours per week
@93XWXTY2yrs2Y
Possibly but more details would need to be worked out
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, as long as employees are not exploited by the requirement of an increased number of working hours per week
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, as long as employees are not exploited by having to agree to an increased number of working hours per week
@8QDSNZY2yrs2Y
Yes, the day taken off should be Wednesday.
@74VSTZN2yrs2Y
This decision should best be left to employers
@93G2RP72yrs2Y
That should be decided by the states or company
Deleted2yrs2Y
Switch to a thirty-hour work week of five six-hour days, and raise wages accordingly.
@93FNHSZ2yrs2Y
Should be up to the company.
@582SJLG2yrs2Y
If some businesses deem it beneficial
Deleted2yrs2Y
If that is what the workers want.
@92MNDFW2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if there is one more hour added.
@92N5JGD2yrs2Y
No, but they should encourage companies to do so.
@88YT2FZ2yrs2Y
Yes, but do four 10 hour days split in two for non service industry, and split in three for service industry for meals and errands.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, as long as employees are not exploited through an increased number of working hours per week
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, as long as employees are not exploited through a requirement of longer working hours per week
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, as long as employees are not exploited by being required to work a greater amount of hours per week because of this transition
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, as long as employees are not required to work a greater amount of hours each week
@7V8WHYY2yrs2Y
It is up to the workers themselves to decide how many days a week they work.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Regardless, it should be left up to the companies.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, as long as this is not used to exploit workers by requiring a greater amount of weekly labor hours
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, as long as this is not used to exploit employees by demanding a greater amount of total working hours during a typical week
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, it is better for economic stability and personal health. But additionally, we should offer double pay for people who continue to work on Friday.
@4TGBF232yrs2Y
Let companies make this decision for themselves.
@heatherdvdprincess2yrs2Y
Let's see what happens in the other countries and then experiment with it if it is worth it. It is worth it if it increases GDP and/or significantly improves mental health and family ties.
@8ZLSND92yrs2Y
Maintain 5-day work weeks, but decrease work hours.
@4DJR8YJ2yrs2Y
No, wait and see if there are proven benefits
@8ZCJJ3R2yrs2Y
Regardless, the government should not tell private businesses how many days to work in a week. We have sufficient laws in place for this.
@Graham4GA2yrs2Y
This is a question for employers and employees to answer for themselves.
@2PFH3VC2yrs2Y
Yes, but shortening the workday would be better
@8VC7WDN2yrs2Y
Yes, but only to have one day a week to spend with families is important for children
@7YHTKF52yrs2Y
Depends on certain factors.
@8TQB57G2yrs2Y
Individual businesses should make their own determination on the matter
@7THPXS92yrs2Y
I would be interested in experiments to this effect that are held to high, unbiased research standards.
@8YTGBRG2yrs2Y
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, as long as this is not used to exploit and require more than the standard amount of employee working hours in a typical week
@2VWTTCC2yrs2Y
Private businesses should have the ability to do this, but government jobs should not.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, as long as this is not used to exploit and require more than the standard amount of working hours for employees within a more condensed time frame
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, as long as this is not used to require and exploit more than standard working hours for employees within a more condensed time frame
@88NZKDZ2yrs2Y
Only if necessary for certain industries. Labor relations should be managed by syndicates for each industry and private business should be abolished.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, as long as this is not used to require and exploit longer working hours for employees within a more condensed time frame
