Once commuting is accounted for you don't really gain 25% more time.
Also at least in O+G boom times we were down to pretty close to that with flex days and every second Friday off.
36 x 52 = 1872 and add in 5 - 10 flex days and you get down to 1800 hrs per year which is around 34hrs per week. So no a huge step change from Sweden,

you're never going to get that in a lot of trades that are deadline intensive.
I'll use paving for example. you mostly do it in the warm months, you pretty much have to grind the job sun up to sun down because of the weather limitations for example.
So the whole 6 hour work day doesn't do anything for work life balance because it doesn't work that way. All your're doing is adding a massive expense to the employer if your adding 10 hours of overtime pay or 12 hours of overtime pay a week and then stacking ontop of that.
