The Black-Connery Bill stipulated a 30-hour work week

[TheGoodNews]

1. 4 Recs

This bill was actually passed by the Senate, though eventually overturned. Maybe we could discuss practical ways to reduce our work week or the overall time we put in without hurting workers financially? Say the production schedule begins at 6am and ends at 6pm. Two six-hour shifts between two workers could neatly cover it. It may not work for every position, but we can still discuss several different possibilities like alternate Fridays off or accumulated off days at the end of the year. Or do you prefer most of us keep over working while many of us stay unemployed? Bottomline, this might be one of the key dilemmas facing workers when you consider the economic and health effects.
