Time for a four-day week, says John McDonnell
JOHN McDONNELL trumpeted calls for a four-day working week today, insisting its “time has come.”
The Labour shadow chancellor was speaking at an event ran by the New Economics Foundation (NEF) and Tribune magazine calling for a reduction in working hours.
He expressed fear that the rise of irregular working hours is “damaging to our social fabric. We used to work to live — and now we live to work. People are just working too long, and it’s not working.”
