DC Reporter: In the Fight Against The Big Three … the UAW Can Win Even Bigger – For All of Us
“And how much time off? The UAW is advocating for a four-day, 32-hour workweek.
If that sounds far-fetched, remember “eight hours of work, eight hours of rest, and eight hours to do what we will” was a concept people in this country also had to first wrap their heads around before the eight-hour workday we all know and now loathe was established.
The 32-hour, four-day workweek can be established today — and not just in the automotive industry, but for everybody. The gains that the UAW wins, should members continue the level of militancy they have demonstrated thus far, will not be restricted to just one industry alone. They’ll cascade across every workplace in the nation.”…
