Benjamin expressed his concerns about whether this transition would be productive, but several union officials and other labour officials came forward in calling for it. Benjamin conceded, and a study will be conducted.
“We are going to have that done. We are going to look at it and check it out,” Benjamin said.
He clarified that this does not automatically mean that will change but if the study proves to produce greater productivity than a five-day, then “the government would be quite proper to look at the possibilities of the reduction”.
