About this listen

Article 24 of the UDHR clearly states: Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay. The UK is attempting to uphold that statement by reducing the 5 day workweek to a 4 day workweek in 70 companies. This is the world's biggest pilot for a 32-hour workweek since Iceland's research between 2015 and 2019.

What will a 4 day workweek mean to employees and companies? The study will conclude in 6 months and hopes to answer the universal call for greater work flexibility. Let's talk about why people want this to succeed, and what it would mean to the working class.
