1:05Now PlayingDid you know there’s a general strike being planned for October 15th? Why? Check out the video to learn more!

The people organizing the strike wrote up a list of demands they want, which include a 25% corporate tax, free health care for all, 12 weeks paid paternity and maternity leave, $20 minimum wage, 4 day work week, and stricter environmental regulations on corporations.
In terms of 4 day work weeks, there are many companies adopting this work week to decrease staff burnout and increase work productivity. The 9 to 5 and Monday through Friday work week is becoming outdated now that remote work is becoming more and more popular.
The reality is that work schedules are not one size fits all. A worker at an oil rig may work 7 days a week for many weeks straight and then get a month off. A rideshare driver in college town may mostly work on weekends and a couple days during the week. Every job can have radically different work week schedules.
Requiring a standard work week for all is not realistic or effective. But maybe this general strike will get the attention of companies and four day work weeks will become an offered perk?
Would you want a four day work week? Let us know in the comments below!
