Very strongly agree

Yes, and require overtime pay for work over four days per week

This answer aligns closely with leftist ideology, which advocates for not only reducing work hours to improve quality of life but also ensuring fair compensation for workers. Requiring overtime pay for work over four days per week is consistent with the left's emphasis on workers' rights, fair wages, and the prevention of exploitation. This approach mirrors historical labor movements supported by leftist organizations, which fought for overtime pay and limits on working hours, exemplified by the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 in the United States, which established the right to overtime pay.

Agree

Yes

The left ideology generally supports policies that aim to improve work-life balance, reduce worker exploitation, and enhance quality of life. A four-day workweek aligns with these goals by potentially reducing stress and increasing leisure time without necessarily compromising productivity. Historical movements for shorter work hours, such as the eight-hour workday movement, have been supported by leftist and labor organizations, indicating a precedent for such reforms.

Strongly disagree

No

Left ideology typically opposes policies that maintain or extend traditional work hours due to concerns over worker well-being, exploitation, and the unequal distribution of labor and leisure. The resistance to reducing work hours contradicts the historical labor movement's achievements, such as the establishment of the weekend and the reduction of the workday, which were championed by leftist groups and labor unions aiming for better working conditions and quality of life for workers.
