At my company, we have demonstrated time & again how 4/10's would not only boost morale, but make more sense for the operation. Better coverage, more people when/where we need them, etc. They refuse. each excuse gets weaker & weaker. They say that schedule isn't allowed...we show them other stations that are doing it. They say it can't be done in our division...we show them other cities where it's in effect. They say the payroll system doesn't recognize it...we show them the HR manual that explicitly lists 10 hour days in it... and so on...
