What? With any same version of this law the multiple part time jobs loophole must be closed.
The point is under capitalism technology is prevented from reducing human labor. The more stuff is automated, the cheaper labor becomes, and there is no reason to further reduce the use of labor --- instead we get innovation that replaces more expensive machine with cheaper machines or the like.
Furthermore, the only time workers get more power is some sort of labor shortage, but if that is due to high demand there still isn't a reason to work less --- if anything, work a lot to save up for the next down term.
The is no way for the system to endogenously shrink the work-week, so it must be endogenously imposed.
- netizen-936824 5y agoCan you please explain the term "endogenous" in the context of your comment? You appear to use it in two different ways where the implied meaning are polar opposites. Did you mean to write "exogenous" for one of them?
- Ericson2314 5y agoYes sorry the second one is supposed to be "exogenous"
