Friend of mine worked for BMW in Germany. The 35 hour work week was strictly enforced.

It's the law, it's the system, so of course that is what they are going to do.

Yes. Those are the specific conventions that the betriebsrat (Workers Concil) decides, but this varies from company to company and state.

My point is, considering this specific arrangement of 7 hours a day/workday (35h), what would be the offset comparing this same company with 28h/week (4D) with another company not in that arrangement in scenarios where throughput per hour matters?
