Four-day week
THE ruling regional PSIB party plans to include a proposal for a fourday working week in their programme for the local and autonomic elections in May.

“I think that we should recognise the potential in everyone and keep our minds open to how amazing people can be, in both the best and worst of times. We learn and grow not just from our own experiences as women but through those of others, too. Difference and diversity can be a force to unite us as surely as our gender, physical form and shared experiences as women do. There is no limit to what women can achieve in life, work and beyond.”
