They already do in manufacturing, and a lot of other blue collar jobs like collision repair. Once you get out of the office jerk life, there's a whole new world of worse working conditions and exploitation awaiting you

Who says I'm an 'office jerk' lol. I'm a gas engineer. I have never worked in an office in the 20+ years I've been in full time employment. There isn't sight nor sound of any company here in the UK dropping to 4 day work weeks without compromise. And that compromise is working the same hours as a 5 day week over 4 days. So that's not really a win in my eyes.
