IG Metall is calling for a shortened week at full salary, arguing it would improve laborers' lives and make the industry more attractive to young workers.
They’re not going to lose money though, 4 days just means you work slightly longer days and get the 5th off. Why we haven’t jumped to this yet is insane…hell they could do 1/2 staff Monday and half Friday and then you would have less traffic, more people going out to small shops and enjoying their time and the company would have people working 5 days a week still…4 day work weeks should have been brought up when we all started working on computers and production jumped %1000

This is about 32h instead of 35h. So 8h per day and 4 days per week.
