Which I think leads us to a reasonable question, perhaps appropriate for a phase 2 implementation -- did anyone ASK the nurses if they would take a 25% pay cut?
Not wanting to play Masters Of The Universe with Swedish nurses or anything, but wouldn't it be possible for Gothenburg to have two nursing homes, one with 6-hour shifts and the other with 8? Set pay on an hourly scale. Then see who goes where.
But getting to the 25% pay cut point, we should at least acknowledge that tinkering with work weeks will have repercussions, some predictable (e.g. will teachers benefit?) and some not.
