Nine-day fortnight part of NZ’s plan

Mr Key said his government is considering a nine-day working fortnight, with federally funding training on the tenth. He said it would help skill the workforce during the economic downturn.

“If workers are going to band together to reduce the cost on employers, to keep the entire workforce in tact, providing it’s a stable business that’s got a future, then it’s mates helping mates to keep themselves in work,” Mr Key said on ABC radio.

Makes sense…..there is most probably a tenth of their workforce over here.
