Recently I've heard of more business's, and government, going to four, ten-hour day, work weeks, and for obvious reason, reducing the cost of fuel for the employee, and reducing operating costs to owners (building is "shutdown" an additional day/week)

Any one see this catching on, and becoming commonplace in the US? Why, or why won't, this become the norm? Is it common in other countries?

I can handle another day on the water per week <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
