“There is an assumption that a four-day week is irrelevant or impossible for the workers outside of computer-based work, or that it is an upper- or upper-middle class luxury. [In this paper] we explore the potential for construction workers and consider how this transformative policy could benefit workers in the rest of the economy. For a four-day week to be truly transformative it must also be inclusive.” Executive Summary

Twitter thread on the report (here)

“Campaigners say building firms should be first to trial four-day weeks to stop construction being the deadliest industry in Britain.”
