We've successfully dealt with this issue in the past.
"Ironically, it was only when Henry Ford took the wildly controversial step of shuttering his automobile manufacturing factories on Saturday and cutting daily work hours from the then-standard 12 to 8 that workers began not only enjoying leisure time at home, but became more efficient and productive at work."
If Google and other big corps shorten work hours, then other companies might follow just like they did when Ford changed. Eventually it'll trickle up to legislation.
- Chinjut 12y agoIn support of the grandparent comment, one does suppose Ford was motivated to his actions not purely of his own accord, but, rather, was also influenced by the ambient environment of a thriving and contentious labor movement, which in its agitations was not afraid to employ strikes, etc.
