No Canadian companies involved in a shortened workweek trial intend to revert back to a five-day week, new research from 4 Day Week Global shows.

It would help if the governments did it... but I can't see them being a leader on this one because of the optics.

You'd be interested to know that was the sticking point on the recent Fed strike.

And they got it.

I know dozens of people working on unionized government work who were WFH 100% since CoViD day, and haven't been back. Desks were sold/scrapped, leased released, space repurposed. Onsite are a handful of people, usually rotating assignments, for things like shipping/receiving, and the WFH language is baked into the latest contract there too.

The gov people ARE making progress.
