Sweden moves towards 6-hour working day with same pay

Imagine this: Sweden moves towards a standard 6-hour working day - Independent.ie

On top of Sweden already giving all workers' 5 weeks of paid vacation & holidays, plenty of paid sick days, 18 months paid paternal leave, national health care and known for its work/life balance; many companies in Sweden including public workers are moving towards 6-hour work day with same pay as 8-hour work day. No, average Swedish workers' pay no higher taxes than average American if you combine federal and income tax, as well as property taxes and high corporation taxes, health care, child care and all the college costs we pay while in Sweden all free/very low cost!

Of course America always falls behind and corporations do not care about their workers' and people are overworking and do not realize that until they get heart attack or getting very old regretting many things in life and often nothing they can do about that

We work based on healthy competition. It's called Capitalism. They have a different system.
What makes you think that under their system we would do better and not worst ?
it is possible you want something for nothing here ? no ?

There is nothing stopping any American employer from adopting a 6hour work day.
In fact o.p why don't you do it with your business and tell us how it goes?

They do, hourly employees have the collateral of overtime pay.

Salary? Well that was kind of your fault in the first place.

I'm a partner to an LLLP. I wouldn't make my employees work 6 days, I wouldn't have any employees.

Greed is the root of all evil
Btw productivity drops down the more hours people work, less happy and higher turnover rate
