Workers shifting to 4-day week to save gasoline

When Ohio's Kent State University offered custodial staff the option of working four days a week instead of five to cut commuting costs, most jumped at the chance, part of a U.S. trend aimed at combating soaring gasoline prices.

"We offered it to 94 employees and 78 have taken us up on it," said university spokesman Scott Rainone.

Heck I would take that and it has nothing to do with gasoline. I would love to work a little longer and get an extra day off for my trouble.

Yep same here, gas or no gas I would love it if DH worked the 4 day shift again (he can for vacation, which is nice, but for most weeks they want him there 5 days)

Sounds good to me! I am now printing this article out and secretly putting it my boss' box.

I'm lucky with my work. I do 12hr shifts, 3 days a week. Also the bus stop is across the street.

Wish it was an option for us. They sometimes do it in the summer but have already told us they won't this year. Too much headaches getting the proper phone coverage.

I'd do it in a hearbeat.
