Shortened work week saves money

Winnebago County in Illinois has come up with their version of a compressed work week. According to the Rockford Register Star, the County will close up shop at 3 p.m. on Friday, essentially cutting the work week to 38 hours instead of 40. They expect to save about $347,000 in reduced wages alone.

The unions are against this proposal, but judging by the comments, it appears some community members favor it. What do you think?
