In November 2019 shadow chancellor John McDonnell stated that the Labour party would introduce a 32-hour work week policy if they gained the majority in the General Election. Workers in the UK would be classified as working “full-time” if they worked 32 hours. The policy would also apply to government workers including those in the NHS. Opponents of the plan, including the Conservative Party, argue that the plan would increase staff costs at the NHS by £6.1bn a year.

I think in theory it's a good idea but I don't fully understand this subject to have a solid opinion on it
@B2472QK1mo1MO
What ever the business wants the employee to work whether it be 15 hours, 30 hours or 20 hours but over 40 hours should be classed as overtime and the employees shouldn't be sacked or for forced to work over 40 hours if they don't want to
@9ZN98T42mos2MO
Depends on the job and how effectively systems will run on this 32hr work week and the income you will get on 32hrs
@8NYRYLW4yrs4Y
As long as the pay is good
@9SGRY5P5mos5MO
No, private businesses should be allowed to support whatever working hours they want their employees to work, whereas public sector workers should maintain the current work week.

Do I support? A neutrality option would be preferable. Thy does not support, thy does not not support, thy does not approve, thy does not disdain its proposition. None of my business. Such is the promise of liberty.

to some extent - if you are able to complete it then you should unless child child care or education come into play
