In praise of less work time. By Buzz Hargrove, CAW - TCA CANADA
Compared to Europeans, Canadians work longer hours, have fewer vacations, fewer public holidays, put in more overtime, work more 'unsocial' hours late at night and on weekends, have less time off to raise our children and generally retire later. In fact, Canadians work some of the longest hours in the industrialized world. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD), Canadians work almost seven weeks more per year than French and German workers.------------------------------------------- posted 11:34 AM :: reference link ::
