Joe O’Connor, a Research Fellow at Cornell University on Workweek Time Reduction, Coordinator with the US team of the 4 Day Week Pilot, and Chair of the 4 Day Week Ireland, joins Tony and Brian to explore the intersection of the Great Resignation with the 4 Day Work Week movement. In Part 1, Joe discusses how in Ireland they were able to bring business, government, and unions to the table to build coalitions that are collaborating to develop an approach to work that is better for workers, for workers families’, for business, and for the environment. Joe also challenges the wisdom of US multi-nationals that make working 12-14 hours a day “a badge of honor.”
