Okay, so how are you going to push for shortening the work-week (or better, the work-year) without hurting worker yearly incomes? Or is shortening the work-year of some workers supposed to cut their incomes but that's okay because it raises other workers' work-years? In the latter case, the idea is one of burden-sharing, a form of unemployment insurance (in which employed workers are helping the unemployed). -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
