We need a 4 day work week with 1 day of mandatory/paid retraining. Unskilled labor can be found anywhere, there are 7.7 billion people on the planet.
By having programs in place for training we can move people into careers where they can grow and move up.
German is moving to a 28hr work week for some workers. https://money.cnn.com/2018/02/07/news/economy/germany-28-hour-work-week/index.html https://money.cnn.com/2018/02/07/news/economy/germany-28-hou...
- SolaceQuantum 7y agoI don't know if we should do mandatory retraining- I would also be down for this to be a "free" day to do things like home projects, rest and recovery if you are mentally/physically ill, do some grocery shopping at a farmers' market, volunteer at a shelter or retirement home...
- xwolfi 7y agoAs long as it's unpaid, sure. Most company allow you do take unpaid leaves and rest and recover.
- xwolfi 7y agoThe 28 hour week with reduced salary combined with the 40 hours with increased salary is what we've always begged the left to do, rather than force a 35 hours to everyone, from the eager 18yo starting in life to the grumpy 65yo complaining about his back. We need choice and opportunities, not central planning and fake good ideas, like the fixed hour rate was.
