Four-day week will let workers 'share benefits of new technology'

Four Day Week Ireland says reduced working time is "better for business, better for workers, better for women, and better for the environment".

A leading trade union is pushing ahead with a pilot project it hopes will lead to the introduction of a four-day week for all employees in the private, public and community sectors. 

Public service trade union Fórsa is seeking employers to take part in the project, which it says will not impact on company performance or productivity.
