Idk why someone always brings up 4-10s every time, it's a completely different thing. We want 8 hour days, 4 days a week.

Because it's a thing that actually exists, doesn't result in a pay or benefits cut, and people who experienced it actually like.

Not everyone. I hated it. A lot of times, 4 10s is actually 4 11s, because they make you take a lunch but you still gotta get those 10 actual work hours in. After a while, it was just brutal and exhausting. Bonus points of suck are awarded if you have to deal with coworkers who think you're just getting a freebie day off for nothing and turn into assholes.
