#1 Unions will go with the 4-10's schedule, I've done it many times when I was a Carpenter/Piledriver. What they wont do is let them switch back and forth to try to shave you out of 2hrs of overtime every time they switch in the middle of the week.

#2 Ah, yes. State workers and their union interpert the four day work week.
Instead of 5 eight hour days, they'll now be working 4 eight hour days. 4 X 8=40.

#3 Here's some other savers for Arkansas:

Daytona will be reduced to 400 miles or if not practical people in Arkansas can turn off their TV after 400 miles.

Drag racing will be reduced to a fifth of a mile.

Motorcycle Motor X will be changed to Motor Y.

Moonshine will be sold by the sixth.

16 ounce RC Cola bottles will contain 13 ounces but keep the same amount of sugar per bottle.

Moonpies will have their diameter reduced to three inches, extra marshmallow filling will make up for the lost sugar.

Death Row inmates will have their last walk reduced to 8/10 of a mile.
