German Union Steps Up Fight for ‘Modern’ 28-Hour Workweek


Meanwhile in Germany. #unionYes

“Far more controversial is IG Metall’s call for employees to be allowed to switch to a 28-hour week for a two-year period — with limited impact on wages. That demand has been met with fierce resistance from company bosses, and stirred wider debate about quality of life and the future of work in booming Germany.”

German Union Steps Up Fight for ‘Modern’ 28-Hour Workweek

Thanks to strong bargaining power, the IG Metall union, which represents some 3.9 million workers in the metal and electrical industries, is pushing for a 6% wage increase and a 28-hour week for a two-year period — with limited impact on wages.

Facebook is trying to shut us down. I will fight to keep this page up, but it’s sad to see it may come to an end. Facebook censorship is real.

We never post inappropriate comments or photos. It’s a shame that people send us death threats and Facebook won’t do anything about that, but go against the corporate state and you get shut down. Forever speaking the truth ✊🏻 Reposted without website

Preach #MedicareForAll

“My sights are not set so low as to just fight for the status quo.

FOCUS | Naomi Klein: Progressives Must Continue the Fight to Take Over the Democratic Party


You can either pirate a ship or build a new one. I have tried to build a few ships in my day, and have yet to take sail. I’m ready to try to take one over now, are you?

“The process of taking over a party that has been colonized by neoliberalism and by the interests of economic elites who do not want to change is in an extremely difficult one. Anybody who’s waiting to hear “oh you guys were right after all” — it’s not going to go down that way. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth fighting. It just means you have to approach it as a battle for the soul of, not just the party, but the country.”

FOCUS | Naomi Klein: Progressives Must Continue the Fight to Take Over the Democratic Party
