4 day work week in most proposed implementations includes pay adjustmentments to compensate for the lost day. Also the four day work week is focused on hourly work at 40 per week, not cases like yours. I bet if we look we can find a similar proposal for your situation.

Same here. I don't directly benefit in the way you do, but I work in a factory. They'd benefit from a seven day work week... The more time the more we can output, the more we can output the more orders we can take... :(

Armchair theory: this is the fundamental difference between liberals and leftists. Liberals will assume that if you change the economic incentives, business owners will respond accordingly.

That runs smack into things like work from home or 4 day work weeks. We have evidence that workers will be as much or more productive doing things this way. Why are they opposing it, anyway? Power fits the explanation better than money. Perhaps there is a third option, but until someone comes up with a convincing one, I'll go with power.

Money is only a path to power. In a conflict between power and money, they will choose power.

Ya know, I always found this to be the bizarre thing about the rich and powerful. They try to hold onto their wealth and power that it inevitably will start to seep from between their fingers like sand. If one wants to hold wealth and power the most effective way much like sand is to hold it gently and evenly.

Obviously the pay is adjusted to be the same

4 day week laws tend to require nominal pay be adjusted to account for this

Pay should stay the same.
