IMHO, the underlying issue is the enormous economic security facing
U.S. workers nowadays and in the recent past.  Under those
circumstances, leisure is not a very top priority.  Jobs, health care,
serious unemployment insurance, collective bargaining, basic rights of
union organizing are top.  I think that working people are ready now
to pay attention to *propaganda* on shortening the working day, week,
month, and year, but they are not equally ready to turn that into an
immediate demand.
