Companies that have experimented with a four-day work have mostly decided to keep it. If at one time, it seems a crazy idea that just might work, by now there’s enough data to show us that it does.

Data Unions, regulated data sharing entities, help ordinary people access, control and monetize their data, and Europe has strongly backed this movement.
