AN OVERWHELMING majority of Scottish government workers want a four-day working week trialled, research has found.
A survey carried out by the Autonomy think tank on behalf of the PCS union found that 87 per cent of staff supported the initiative.
The researchers, who spoke to more than 2,000 workers, say that a four-day week would boost productivity to such an extent that many business areas could make the change without having to employ new staff.
