DJ:" 35 heur semaine "
Would you like to work just 35 hours a week, and still get paid for 39 ?
...and the French workers said, "yes".
IOW, would you like to work 10% harder per hour ?
...and the French workers said, "yes".
Sneaky, those European Taylorists (^_^)
"Taylorism" = "Management Science" in TheStates, folks.
"Since no one is making more money, there won't be any envy", said the workers.
" envy ", a word/concept that does not translate well to American English. I encounter this envy concept over and over, working in Democratic-Socialist Scandinavia, EuroLand. You and I understand what this means but, it would be difficult for us to explain to Americans.
Would you like to work just 35 hours a week, and still get paid for 39 ?
...what a brilliant subterfuge! What a perverse persuasion for productivity in the context of social idealism.
Kinda like, "How would you like it if we raised the minimum wage base for everybody by $1.00 per hour ?"
...and the American workers said, "yes".
IOW, since Union dues are a % of wages, would you like to give more money to organized labour ?
...and the American workers said, "yes".
Sneaky, those American Unions (^_^)
