Currently there is not much discussion about a general reduction of the work day to 6 hours in Sweden.

If anything politicians are pushing for more work (though not longer days). Lower sick pay, later retirement and conversion of part time jobs to full time have been implemented or proposed.

(Also, it is not Volvo Cars that is downsizing, it is Volvo Group).

MP just decided to go into the election with a 35 hour work day proposal. I also believe V and F! are in support of a work hour reduction to varying degrees.

So there is definitely a push to reduce the work day (Though possibly not to 6 hours).

Forgot about the recent (mp) proposal. Maybe there will be a new debate on the length of a work day/week in time for the election then.

It's been a long standing point on the MP party program, although perhaps an often neglected one.
