In some way they have to. Except it needs to be reworded. Relentless has some great points, except as an employer I can't run my business on people working 4 days a week. And very few can. MacDonalds can and for those type of jobs it's great. Minte can't and fr him its disaster.
As usual, you are incorrect. Union tradesman have had furlough programs and split shifts in place for decades. They can work very well if implemented correctly. Production actually increases when people with mundane jobs they dislike get time off. It won't work for most managerial roles where continuity is essential, like the foreman on a major job site with 50 men working under his supervision... but using 75 men instead of 50 and splitting the work among them turns out to be more efficient in most cases. It also keeps many more people employed.

The same holds true for many 9-5 jobs.
