THE Scottish Government will bring in a four-day working week for some public sector workers – with trails beginning this year.
Chapman said: “If we want to build a fairer and greener economy with good jobs, sustainable work, fair wages and economic security then we need to be prepared to make big changes and think big.
“The Scottish Government has an important role to play in leading by example, and I am pleased that these trials are about to begin. For some households and industries, it wouldn’t necessarily be such a big transition, with lots of workers already working four days a week or less. “The Scottish Greens and our MSPs have introduced a four-day week in our offices and have learnt a lot from doing so. We want to see similar changes in other areas as we build an economy that works for people and planet.”
