The title for this article is misleading. It only says they've agreed to a study to investigate it. There's a world of difference between that and actually approving a 4-day week for all.

They approved a trial for Glasgow city council workers - so they approved it for themselves.

I do see your point though - it could've been a bit clearer

Saying the title could be "a bit clearer" is going too easy. The title is patently false. They did not approve a 4-day week at all.

Title should be changed to say that they approved an agenda item to discuss whether they should think about considering a 4-day work week.

Council workers are a separate group of people from the councillors who made the decision.
