    I am absolutely in favour of the four day (30-32 hour) week with no loss of pay but the discussion always centres on salaried office workers. I have not yet seen anyone explicitly state that workers on hourly pay would need a 25% pay rise to make it equitable, including in jobs where it simply isn’t possible to do the same amount of work in 80% of the time (security, delivery, retail, hospitality, customer service, etc).

    That piece does link to a Chik-Fil-A 3-day week offer but it’s for 14 hour days, so 42 hours work and nothing to do with what this piece is talking about.
