Major Organizing Issues: Overwork, Stress and Less Time for the Family LaborTalk By Harry Kelber
If the AFL-CIO and its affiliated unions hope to re-establish their relevance to workers, they’ll have to produce answers that have appeal. Is a six-hour workday, 30-hour week utopian? Then how about a 7-hour day, 35-hour week, with limits on weekend work? More paid sick leave and vacations? If not these proposals, what else? Can we continue to ignore the problem?
