New Research Shows Support for Abolishing 10 out of 12s
Recent research regarding 10 out of 12 workdays shows that many industry workers are in favor of abolishing the practice. Tanner Richardett, a recent graduate of Drexel University with a master’s degree in Arts Administration, conducted a survey of theatre in the Greater Philadelphia Area to gather opinions about 10 out of 12s and 6-day workweeks. The research revealed that 83.5 percent of those surveyed agreed with the group No More 10/12s’ reasons for abolishing 10 out of 12s.
