Work is not to torment us
The left takes the view that it is crucial that we work effectively and do not exhaust ourselves. It is so worth considering reducing the number of working days by one, which would increase the productivity of workers and give them more rest:
"The point is that work does not exhaust us, and secondly, that it produces results in the form of productivity" – translated by the typical of the power camp in public media.
What does the ruling coalition consider?
The government is considering a proposal to shorten the week's work by 5 hours – that's what the diary of Legal paper said. However, before the decision is made, the possible effects of specified radical, as if not looking, change for the full economy will request to be analysed.

There are plans to amend the Labour Code to gradually shorten working time from 40 hours to 35 hours on average (at the current wage level). specified a solution exists in Germany and France.
Example from Poland
We are talking about countries in Western Europe that have chosen specified an interesting solution, but we besides have a past from our country. We quote money.pl service:
‘In Poland, four-day work week is rare. Recently, Herbapol, a company in Poznań, decided to make specified a change. “The company of Herbapolu Poznań tests a 4-day working day. Ultimately, in 2025, the squad is to work, not five, but 4 days a week and an additional day off is to be paid," said the company on social media‘.
I wonder if the change will be pushed through, whether it will encounter opposition from the liberals of the KO or the centrists of the 3rd Way...
