Nothing in your paper, and this last reply addresses the enforcement of employer reduction of hours. Employers reduced work hours during Covid, and still do today. They are not increasing wages.

    You are the only person talking about this, you are having a different conversation unrelated to this post.

    Yeah. I am the only person that got laid off, and reduced hours for worldwide during and after covid.🙃 You got me there. Shame on me for wanting people to earn what they truly make.

    Without improving hours, you will get the same salary. Wage slave.

    ...so you work less for the same money? Thats a result.

    How can I explain this any simpler. Sorry you got a result you didnt want, workers working less while maintaining their purchasing power is a result.

    Stronger working conditions and contract protections are separate and important.
