The British government is considering granting workers the right to request a four-day work week, as reported by The Guardian. Under the proposal, employees would still need to fulfill a 40-hour work week. However, employers would not be obligated to approve these requests, according to a government spokesperson. Joe Ryle, the director of the 4 Day Week campaign, views this initiative as a positive first step. He emphasized that the campaign’s ultimate objective is to reduce the overall number of hours worked per week.
