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
@B4BTMF42 days2D
There shouldn't be a standard for the length of a work week it should be dependent on the necessities of the individual job
@B4552Z22wks2W
Employees and employers should negotiate contracts and terms openly and freely with no coercion or animosity present.
@B2T4ZN42mos2MO
A business may class an employee as full time if they work 32hrs per week - but only with the expressed consent of the employee All publicly funded employees will be required to work a minimum of 38hours a week to be classed as “fulltime”
@B2472QK4mos4MO
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
@9ZN98T44mos4MO
Depends on the job and how effectively systems will run on this 32hr work week and the income you will get on 32hrs
