May Day: Degrowing the Work Week

The survival of humanity requires a massive decrease in harmful production while increasing the necessities of life for impoverished people.

Who will decide what is essential vs. unnecessary? Should those decisions be made by working people or left to the capitalist class and its politicians? What do union folk such as steelworkers, auto workers, and teamsters think their role should be in a "just transition?" How have German workers won a shorter work week? Most of all, how would a socially just society affect the new wave of "gig" or "precarious" workers?

If you have ever worked for a living, join the discussion.
