The Independent highlights the ongoing push by various MPs for the introduction of a four-day working week as part of new workers' rights regulations. This initiative is being supported by 12 Labour MPs and one Green MP, advocating for the amendment to the Employment Rights Bill. The proposed four-day week aims to improve productivity while considering advancements in technology, such as artificial intelligence. Key MP statements emphasize that less work can lead to higher efficiency and better outcomes for public services, suggesting a significant shift in labor practices for the future.
A four-day, 32-hour working week is the future of work and I urge my party to back this amendment so we can begin a much wider transition.
Data shows that working four days leads to greater productivity than five. That means in public organisations for example, that we can get through a higher volume of tasks, creating the increase in capacity we so desperately need to see in our public services.
