The 9-5, five-day work week is a century old and no longer reflects the realities of modern life.
A four-day week pilot in Wales is long overdue, but the Welsh Government is dragging its feet.
The evidence is overwhelming - it's time to get on with it.

Campaigners and political leaders in Wales urge the Welsh Government to act on four-day week trial in the public sector.
Time to honour the recommendations and get on with it.

Big fan/supporter of this.
Taking it to heart that I actually do that mental health is one of the biggest, most important issues and until it's fixed, society isn't.
4 day working weeks are a HUGE step towards making people's mental health so much better.
It's working for me.
It’s time to try a 4-day week. ⏰
This August we’re launching 4UGUST, our campaign to help companies run a short-term trial of a better working week.
