there are lots of agencies here in San Diego that are going this route too.  The City just announced it recently as well as a few other places.

I hope we fall in line soon too.  Shit, I'm already here 10+ hours a day anyways, getting to take EVERY friday off would make it worth it.

I worked in a restaurant that had 4/10's for kitchen staff. I found it to be great, since I had three days off to recuperate, work another job, run errands, sleep, etc. It actually makes people more productive- i could get a helluva lot more done in that time than in just 8 hours.

For that matter, I'd love it if the MVA was open later than 4:30 in the afternoon. That way those miserable fucksticks could actually get something accomplished. Hell, it should be open 24/7.

My guess: they'll limit their hours as well, to reduce operating costs when traffic is low.

Bingo. The issue has come up locally here, too.

Thing is that what are being switched to the 4-days are non-essential employees, IE office drones. And in many cases, the M-F is maintained, but splits shifts accordingly. So you still have M-F workers, but less on M and F.
