Delegates will ask the union to support the Irish Congress of Trade Union's campaign for a four-day week
The Association of Higher Civil and Public Servants (AHCPS) will hear calls today for staff in Government departments to be moved to a four-day working week.
The AHCPS will meet in Dublin for its annual delegate conference this afternoon and will debate a number of motions on the four-day week.
Delegates will ask the union to support the Irish Congress of Trade Union's campaign for a four-day week and to seek the introduction of 'Work Condensing Programmes' in all Government departments and offices.
Other motions call on the AHCPS to commission research on the costs and benefits of moving to a four-day week and to review the experiences of organisations that have already trialled a shorter working week.
The union will also be asked by delegates to formally sign up to the principles set down by the Four Day Week Ireland campaign and to officially join the group.
