the entire three day weekend narrative is a push toward a standardized 50 hour, 2 day weekend. monied interests will cede ground now for a massive gain in the near future. working four tens (4 ten-hour days) isnt unheard of in the us. its become a part of the 4-day work week narrative. but well over half of the people offered this schedule will chose more than 40 hours, electing to work a 5th day thats entirely overtime (if the hours are given to them).  that will eventually become the standard; 40 hours plus optional overtime. and people will absolutely fall for it. wages will stagnate even more, and the overtime will become a necessity. eventually more than 40 hours and 4 days will be standard, as people need the overtime, while employers are paying the same for labor as they do now.
