No, but incentivize work days that do not have to be 8 hour shifts.

Allow companies to make that decision themselves.

Yes but, only for certain jobs

Yes, but not government workers.

It is up to the workers themselves to decide how many days a week they work.
@CF-103yrs3Y
Depends on certain factors.
@8TQB57G3yrs3Y
Individual businesses should make their own determination on the matter
@93G2RP73yrs3Y
That should be decided by the states or company
@heatherdvdprincess3yrs3Y
Let's see what happens in the other countries and then experiment with it if it is worth it. It is worth it if it increases GDP and/or significantly improves mental health and family ties.
@4TGBF233yrs3Y
Let companies make this decision for themselves.
@4DJR8YJ3yrs3Y
No, wait and see if there are proven benefits
@Graham4GA3yrs3Y
This is a question for employers and employees to answer for themselves.
