Maintenance work on the A5: traffic jams and locks threaten!
on the A5 towards Brno are due from December 2 to 5, which will result in temporary lane barriers. The affected section, located between kilometer 17.0 and 17.5 near Gaweinstal-Mitte in the Mistelbach district, is processed to improve the level of the road in the transition area to the bridge. This is crucial for the driving comfort of road users and the protection of the bridge structure. According to the motorway operator Bonaventura, the work can be postponed due to weather -related influences. Any traffic restrictions will be announced via the traffic radio to inform the drivers in good time, reported .
four-day week in focus
A current study by the University of Münster causes a sensation away from the highway. Over 40 German companies tested the four-day week for six months and reported on increased satisfaction of employees and a noticeable improvement in their mental and physical health. Over 70 percent of the companies involved want to maintain the model, which further fueled the discussion about the introduction of such a model. The idea behind the four-day week is to distribute the work volume over four days or to work less for one day, whereby the working hours per day can be adjusted accordingly. In this context, the need to preserve the full wage equalization is often emphasized, as in another report by Deutschlandfunk Kultur .The idea behind the shortening of working hours is not only to increase the well -being of the employees, but also to increase productivity. These results are the focus of the recurring debate about possible working time models. Studies indicate that such models can actually have positive effects on employee health. Despite the challenges and disagreements on the economic effects, it should be noted that the principle of a better work environment is becoming more important for many employees. The discussion about the four-day week could therefore not only be a promising topic for the employees, but also with regard to the adaptation to the changing labor market.
