UNITED STATES - ADAPTING 4 DAYS A WEEK SCHEDULE FOR WORKERS

The abnormal rise in the prices of petroleum products made the American industries to cut down the working days to 4 days a week.
In the International marketing level, the petroleum product's prices are increasing rapidly.The United States has estimated that the level of fuel products will get increased by 30 percent by the vehicles use in day-today life.
To save the fuel and the money spent for the petroleum products, 4 days per week plan is going to be adapted in all the industries.The officials of Birmingham and Alabama cities have announced the 4 days per week plan.The plan is said to be working about 10 hours a day and doing 4 days a week will equalize the working about 5 days a week.
Various industries are also likely going to adapt the same plan.More over many industries are calculating the efficiency of the workers and not the working time of the workers.It has been a thought among the workers that it will be better that doing the work completely in the given amount of time rather than doing in extra time work.
Also more workers changed the work plan because of the increasing price of the petroleum products.They are reducing the long time travel by shifting the home which is nearby the industry.Also many are changing to the industry which is nearer to the home.Because of this problem many workers are leaving their old company and searching for the newer one which is nearby home.This made a damage in the production of lots of companies.
To fight with this problem these industries are also going to implement the 4 day per week plan.
By implementing this plan,for about 20 - 40 crores of amount can be saved as suggested by officials.Moreover the production of vehicles which consumes less fuel has been increased.workers are keen in reducing to use vehicles and trying to handle the works over the phone.
In a step by step process , all the industries are planning to implement this working plan so as to reduce the more fuel consumption.The workers will get more time in the weekends to spend the time their families.
