The four-day workweek gains another prominent champion

The four-day workweek has gained another champion — this time, it’s the United Auto Workers union. UAW President Shawn Fain laid out a 32-hour workweek as one of the many proposals for a new contract with the largest three American auto manufacturers, as well as a 40% increase in pay, boosted pensions and other items. The union already authorized a strike, and the contract runs out Sept. 14.
