The British government plans to give workers the right to request a four-day work week. Under the proposal, workers would still have to work a 40-hour week. A government spokesperson said that employers would not be required to grant those requests. Joe Ryle, the director of the 4 Day Week campaign, welcomed the government's proposal as a first step, but he said his organization's ultimate goal is to reduce the number of hours worked each week.
