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
@9ZN98T44 days4D
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

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.
@9QMV7TT5mos5MO
to some extent - if you are able to complete it then you should unless child child care or education come into play
@9QJWJ695mos5MO
Yes, it creates more jobs. The living wage should be in line with a 32-hour work week then though and not a 40-hour work week.
