Carrol thinks this did not go through. I thought that I recalled seeing it.

But even the CTU has not raised this slogan. Have the California Nurses. It's the kind of slogan that needs to be raised by the workforce. Contingency rules. That is why both prediction and "Should's" are pretty futile.

And, to repond to Carroll, cutting hours is a vector, not a destination, and potentially a campaign that speaks to the majority population. I don't think "reduce the amount of surplus value" is a rival for the bumper sticker.
