Nonsense armchair analysis here with no empirical evidence whatsoever.

So businesses don't start off with zero business/income and then have to attract more business/income?
In that example they are not manufacturing physical products that then have to be sold. In that example the perceived improved productivity came from the fact that they were obviously not working at 100% capacity before. If they kept the previous hours and business increased, the spare capacity would decrease and any new reduced hours wouldn't have led to a perceived increase in productivity.
Imagine a factory where there is only a demand for 6 hours/day of output, but they work 7 hours/day. A reduction in working time by an hour/day would have no effect, but there has been NO magical increase in productivity.

Yet the evidence doesn’t agree with you.
Let’s hold back the entire economy on the basis of not wanting to employ a few extra binmen.
You don’t seem to grasp this rota concept do you?

The only evidence is where they are not working at anything near 100% capacity.
Corbyn's premise is that it is all self-funded by increases in productivity, NOT employing more people to do it.
What rota wouldn't give too many or too few people on duty at any one time? If you have a total operating day that is just an hour or two longer that the longest working day, how do you fill that with having X people always on duty/working? No rota can cope with that, without part-timers to fill the gaps.
