    I wonder if the Unions would take 80% of their subs then?

      Reduced working weeks are the way forward. 4 days is great, if you can afford it which basically means those earning a lot.

        They would initially then they would put them up over 2 years so they are slightly more than the same.

        Also how does a 4 day week work with people like teachers, doctors, nurses, etc where there aren't even enough people to work a 5 day week?

          I don't imagine they are proposing schools go to a 4 day week?

          Maybe the unions will suggest you work 4 days a week and get a day of overtime

            Nurses on wards work 3 days a week already 3x12.5 hrs. Its quite hard for other departments to get staff if its Mon-Fri.

                Entitled thinking you should get 25% more for no reason.

                Nobody says you can only have one contract, what are you a permie?

                  We can expect large pay reductions regardless on commodity jobs.

                  Post COVID there are going to be lots of people without jobs and they are not cutting furlough enough for people to convert to universal credit happily.

                  Specialists will have more bargaining power - hopefully.

                  Whatever happens get used to HMRC wearing rubber gloves.

                    Post COVID, you should be extremely glad if you earn enough for the tax to be a lot!

                      That's not how it works. You get paid the same salary, but instead of working a 40 hour week (say), you work a 32 hour week.

                      There will be many arguments against it, but how do you think we largely changed from a 6 day working week to a 5 day working week? Of course, that only meant a daily increase of 16% instead of 20%.
