Increasing business costs is not a good idea by any stretch of the imagination. Leads to increases in inflation, and decreases competitiveness. How is increasing wage costs by such a large amount a good thing? The bare minimum that would happen is that profits and therefore the tax paid, goes down.
Labour claim that their proposals for shorter working week for the same annual salary, will be self-funded by increases in productivity.
