“At the enterprises ... workers do not do anything 30–40% of the time. Our task is not to shorten the working day, but to make them useful, ”he said.
He also clarified that the conclusion about a possible reduction in the working week can be made after the scheme is tested at a large number of enterprises.
Earlier, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that the possibility of reducing the working week depends on the situation in the economy.
