Five Day Week Debate in Mexico City
In Mexico City , business leaders criticize the spread of a five day work week from government and banking workers to factories. Alejandro Alvarez Guerrero, head of the Confederation of Industrial Chambers, says progress requires collective effort. Most industry still runs on a six day system. Government approved five day weeks for banks in late 1972 and all public employees by year end. President Luis Echeverria suggests it could boost productivity and efficiency.
