MikeDunnAuthor<p>4-Day work week, 32 hours/week, no reduction in pay caused no loss in productivity for businesses. Indeed, companies' profits increased 1.4%. In other words, they CAN pay us more, while letting put in fewer hours, and still make a huge profit.</p><p>How?</p><p>They cut out the useless, time-wasting shit like boring meetings and busy work. But it also gave workers more free time to be with friends and family, pursue hobbies, rest, recover from the pressures of work. And the work, itself, felt less stressful. There was less burn-out. Workers took fewer sick and personal days. Resignations dropped in half.</p><p><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-02295-2" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nature.com/articles/d41586-025</span><span class="invisible">-02295-2</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/24/the-most-surprising-benefits-of-a-4-day-workweek-from-researcher-whos-studied-thousands-of-cases.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cnbc.com/2025/07/24/the-most-s</span><span class="invisible">urprising-benefits-of-a-4-day-workweek-from-researcher-whos-studied-thousands-of-cases.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-four-day-workweek-reduces-stress-without-hurting-productivity/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">scientificamerican.com/article</span><span class="invisible">/a-four-day-workweek-reduces-stress-without-hurting-productivity/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workhours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workhours</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wages</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingconditions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingconditions</span></a></p>

Yvonne Perkins<p>Tea drinkers take note: the ethical labelling is not doing its job - tea pickers are living below the poverty line and without adequate access to drinking water, toilets and healthy living conditions. A big issue is the brands are not paying enough for the tea leaves they buy:</p><p>“Consumers are not demanding cheap teas. It’s traded down by the brands,” he said. “So how do you move out of the vicious cycle? It’s up to the brands to make that first move.”<br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/tea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tea</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/WorkingConditions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WorkingConditions</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-05/tea-ethical-label-estates-investigation-sri-lanka/104889838" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">abc.net.au/news/2025-03-05/tea</span><span class="invisible">-ethical-label-estates-investigation-sri-lanka/104889838</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today In Labor History April 4, 1968: James Earl Ray assassinated Martin Luther King at the Lorraine Hotel, Memphis, Tennessee. King was in Memphis to support the sanitation workers’ strike that had started in February, 1968, for better working conditions and higher pay. The strike began 2 weeks after 2 workers were crushed to death when their truck malfunctioned, intensifying the already high level of frustration and anger over working conditions and safety. King led a protest march on March 28 . Over 20,000 kids cut class to join the demonstration. Some members of the march began smashing downtown windows and looting. The cops intervened with mace, tear gas, clubs and live gunfire, killing 16-year-old Larry Paine, who had his hands in the air when he was shot. On April 3, one day before his assassination, King gave his “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CivilRights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MartinLutherKing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MartinLutherKing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/assassination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>assassination</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mlk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mlk</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/memphis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>memphis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>strike</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>police</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/policebrutality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>policebrutality</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/policemurder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>policemurder</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingconditions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingconditions</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workplacesafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workplacesafety</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/students" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>students</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/kids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kids</span></a></p>
