Standardise the working week to a 4 day week with a 3 day weekend

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Increased productivity for business (studies show that employees working a four-day work week are more productive and happier overall);
Cutting child care issues and costs, health problems from work related stress and an overall healthier work life balance.

Vastly improved work/life balance for employees & their families;
The family unit benefits from more time with parents at home;
Employees saving money on commuting to and from work, lunches, child care, etc;
Creation of part-time &/or casual positions to fill the rostering void Friday through Sunday (unless employers choose pay workers fairly for additional hours, which in most cases is not currently the case).

Why it was rejected

Make the working week 4 days and the weekend 3 days.
