The three-day working week in the UK began on January 1, 1974, as a response to the energy crisis caused by the 1973 oil embargo. The government implemented this measure to conserve energy and reduce electricity consumption due to coal shortages. The initiative was intended to alleviate pressure on the national grid and manage the impact of industrial strikes in the coal industry.
