Are you suggesting that the Unions would let any differences between businesses continue and for it not to be a general thing?

It really is a load of contrived nonsense. There will be jobs and businesses that have slack capacity. When they find out that they can do the same amount of work in 80% of the time, it will falsely be put down benefits leading to increased productivity.
There are businesses where productivity is less definable on output.

Companies ranging from office-based software developers and recruitment firms to charities and a local fish and chip shop are taking part.
Is the fish and chip shop simply going to be closed when they don't have many customers anyway? Misleading result, yet again.
