Colleagues: I offered to post the following to FUTUREWORK and the reporter said sure. In addition to the story inquiry which follows, she also requested: "[FUTUREWORK] might be helpful as a source to gauge general interest in the 4-day week, if it's been talked about before....Anyone who has opinions on the subject is welcome to write to tell me about their reasons and how previous discussions have gone." 2. FOUR-DAY WORK WEEK - CHICAGO TRIBUNE (IL). Barbara Brotman is working on a story about the possibility of a four-day work week. Will this ever become the standard? She would like to hear from a labor historian who can discuss the possibilities and implications of this, as well as when the five-day work week became the standard, what was done before the five day week, etc. What would the impact on the economy be? Employment rates? Etc. Needs leads by January 25.
