"The Australian Council of Trade Unions has become the latest group to throw
its weight behind calls for a shorter working week, saying productivity gains
should be shared with workers, rather than "boosting corporate profits and
executive bonuses".
The peak union body will use next week's Economic Reform Roundtable in Canberra
to argue that reducing working hours is key to lifting living standards.
It is calling for a move towards a four-day week where possible and
sector-specific models elsewhere, with pay and conditions protected.
It says trials in Australia and overseas show that shorter weeks, when properly
planned, can boost productivity, reduce burnout and improve retention."
