Human Resources: Shock, horror - workers want to work fewer hours

According to an analysis by Britain's Trade Unions Congress (TUC), nearly half of people at work (45 per cent) want to work fewer hours.

Those working in mining and quarrying are the unhappiest with their hours, and have the largest proportion who want fewer hours even if it means losing pay. Over half manufacturing, transport and communication workers also want fewer hours.
