Congratulations to @britsocimm for becoming a Gold Standard accredited four-day week employer! 🥳
The BSI was founded in 1956, but their working week is very much a 21st Century affair.
Well done on the successful implementation of a better working week for all! 🙌

If Kickstarter and Buffer can function in 32 hours, so can your company.
Major global operations and tech leaders are adopting the 4-day week. Your mid-sized marketing agency will survive the transition.
It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

New research suggests a 4-day (32 hour) work week with no loss of pay would improve health, wellbeing and long-term employment sustainability for disabled workers. @4Day_Week @DisRightsUK

AI for realists.
Serious productivity gains are being made. We must make sure these are passed onto us as time back from work.
The alternative? Mass redundancies and an obscene level of concentrated wealth.
We won the 8-hr day and the weekend. It’s time to win the 4-day week.

I don’t say this often, but I think this is the most important thing I’ve published in some time. Watch it as a video essay or read it on my Substack: rutgerbregman.substack.com/p…

The world today is characterized by large-scale inequalities. And a climate crisis is looming over us.
We urgently need a new vision for global progress in the 21st Century. One that grounds human development and equality in planetary habitability.
What would it take to achieve high prosperity and equality while remaining within planetary boundaries?
The World Inequality Lab is very excited to launch the #GlobalJusticeReport.

“The sticking point for us is that there’s been no negotiation over this.
They presented it as a take it or leave it offer.”
This is not how you implement a successful 4-day week.
You need buy-in from staff. You need their input to make sure it works for everyone.
We’ve helped 100s of organisations to make the switch and we can promise you that a top-down enforcement of terms is not the way to go.
TfL need to meet with the unions and negotiate this properly.

It’s ridiculous that we’re still working 1920s hours in a 2020s world.
Ford’s assembly line is long gone. The 40-hour week should be too.
It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

A reminder, given that the tube strikes are back on ⬇️⬇️
The tube strikes called off yesterday essentially boil down to one question: how do you properly define a four-day working week?
The trade union ASLEF says the proposed introduction of a four-day week on the Tube “will be the biggest improvement in working conditions for Underground train drivers in decades.”
But the RMT says this is a “fake four-day week” that amounts to five days’ work compressed into four.
While the true nature of TFL’s four-day week offer is up for debate, one thing isn’t: a four-day week is no longer a fantasy. It has become a live national question - and organised labour will help us get there.
Every union that takes action to secure a shorter working week brings the four-day week closer to reality for everyone.
