  1. But short work week means the owner or owners who don't work can pay for fewer employees who now work as much if not more than before. What notice almost all occupations now. I worked at a water company, cell phone company, currently a beverage manufacturing company. It's a skeleton crew working even more, and extremely difficult to take time away even for medical emergencies. Probably since we had a holiday today, I will be working Saturday. Right now they're asking for volunteers. But there simply isn't enough people who can do my particular job on that particular line. Besides maybe 3 others, one is already covering another aspect of operations for another person. And the other has an entire plate of her own doing micros. The other is doing the other shift... its just no way. The operators are just as tight. Fork lift drivers too. What we need is co-ops instead of current corporations owned by a moneyed few. Capital formation must come from somewhere else. I submit, a Federal Reserve Co-Op Bank where the government lends directly to groups wanting to create a co-op or those same groups to buy out corporations. Turn into co-ops so the workers are not just an expense anymore. They are in fact the owner, and sharer of profits. Right now, none of the profits go to workers... perhaps bonuses or some small time stock buy in program; but they're bullshit in return. And still not votes on wages/salaries, capital expenditures such as getting better machines, etc. Only way you'll get what Keynes also though would happen, shorter and shorter work and an even higher and higher wage/salary slice of the revenue, is if you democratize the business and the workplaces.
