Copied a few relevant paragraphs over:
A minister has ordered a Cambridgeshire council to end its “experiment” with a four-day working week.
South Cambridgeshire district council had announced plans to extend its trial until next April but it has been overruled.
The Liberal Democrat-led council was the first local authority in the UK to undertake such a trial. The council had declared the trial a success, saying the impact on recruitment and the health and wellbeing of staff had been “overwhelmingly positive”.
The local government minister, Lee Rowley, wrote to the council leader, Bridget Smith, to “ask that you end your experiment immediately” and said he had concerns about the “value for money” for local taxpayers.
Slimy bastards. They’re only interested in short term profit. Everyone knows that a four day work week would be better for mental health and productivity, but these stupid conservatives don’t care about any of that because it might hurt the bottom line of their “donators”.
