Would you support 7 day work weeks?

[SlimTrae]

Changing my own subject a bit- If I could extend my greatest 3 thread to the top 20- Henry would be there somewhere.


Hope I'm not being a revisionist- But I (think) Barry Gordy of Motown built his record company to mimmick certain aspects of Ford company.

Even had a QC division. where quality control makes sure each part is fit to go on a car. Barry had a department of people who listened to make sure the song was radio-worthy.

So Ford was one of the pioneers in giving us reboot of my mind time? aka weekend?
Ford was and is a heavy dude.

But I digress...

I wouldn't. People need time to breath and reboot. Seems it would be completely up to the individual business owner in an ideal world. Quality pay and production with adequate down time over quantity and depending on job type, leadership and environment..certain burn out and negative morale.

Expect Wisconsin to trail blaze on a few decisions. & the rest of the states to consider following. Walker is silent on the issue- almost as if to feel the mood of the people before he does speak on that which will come to his desk- yet fact is- the legislature here is moving full steam ahead.

There needs to be an option 'Fuck no!'

[Gandalf]

Bollocks to that. People should be working 2 days a week for the money they are pulling in. The system is all wrong and people are being treated like grazing cattle. They need to charge and aim for the balls.

A 3 day working week would be good bring back the unions 70's.

I'm going partisan here: bare with me. For American Republicans who fancy a dude named Scott Walker-governor of Wisconsin- for the next Prez.... A lot of his campaign donations comes from a team of brothers; Koch brothers.

Their father made his millions in the 1930's under Stalin- check it out! They are now billionaires-
They own business across many industries- thus their business is called Koch (INDUSTRIES)
Well....They fund studies- that are done in what we call (think) tanks.

These studies - example 1. is that since the average American is living so much longer- these baby boomers- so many are ready to collect their social security- so the institutes that are the conduit for these thinkers- in the think tanks- release (findings)
suggesting that....
the retirement should be changed- from 65-67- now age 69 is being considered.
So the
Harry Bradley foundation (in Wisconsin) along with the Heritage Foundation and others- make these claims.<<----think tanks

Politicians who then receive funding- back these claims up and then run on them-when they campaign.

Long story short- the idea of a 7 day work week is instituted in the same fashion-
In fact many here in Wisconsin are doing what U suggest based on these studies- 3 day work weeks HOWEVER... the hours go up from 8-12 hours in a day.
One day rotation. Then they flip everyone's shift from the front end of the week to the back- and from days to nights.

So in the long run; some will work lesser hours- because the 36 hours work week -takes away 4 hours from the 40 standard. and switching shifts takes away that 48 hour work week- and I repeat myself- many companies now pay on Tuesdays, Wednesdays- as opposed to the traditional Friday.
What this does is allow 48 hours straight- without overtime because -if the 4th day is the start of a new pay period- then U get jack for o.t., how nice?

Quiet are the mainstream media and conservative media about who is behind this. Question? Why is that?

[Beanflicker]

Fuck no, people will get depressed go insane and shoot people.

Managers will use it to exploit employees.

You want someone to work 7 days, you give them overtime hours for 2 days.
