Council scraps four-day work week plan after backlash
www.abc.net.au
A Tasmanian council's move to introduce a four-day work week, in part to attract and retain staff, has been abandoned after pushback by a business lobby group and what has been described as "unacceptable hostility" towards staff on social media.

    Not really surprising.

    Of course the private sector will scream blue bloody murder if public sector employees are getting better terms.

    Local govt isn’t really able to kind of lead the way on social employment reforms like this.

    I don’t hold any love for the Chamber of Commerce anywhere but it is kinda their job to push back on this.
