Jack Kellam × Joe Ryle
Summary
Jack Kellam and Joe Ryle are both prominent advocates for the four-day workweek in the UK, frequently quoted together in media coverage of the movement, but represent different organisations. Kellam is a researcher at Autonomy, a UK-based think tank studying labour and well-being (‘Jack Kellam, a researcher at Autonomy, a U.K.-based think tank focused on labor’s future’), while Ryle is the campaign director of the 4 Day Week Campaign (‘Joe Ryle, campaign director at the 4 Day Week Campaign’). Their organisations collaborate on the UK four-day week pilot: ‘The pilot is being organised by nonprofits 4 Day Week Global and 4 Day Week UK Campaign alongside Autonomy.’ In Source 2, both are quoted in the same article making complementary arguments for the four-day week, with Kellam agreeing with Ryle’s suggestion to unionise: ‘A reduction in working time has historically been a core demand of the union movement.’ In Source 3, both comment on the mid-point results of the UK trial, with Kellam providing data on cost-of-living benefits and Ryle framing the broader purpose: ‘Ultimately, it’s about giving us the time to live happier, more fulfilled lives.‘
