Why do we work 40 hours a week?
Added 2021-04-01 00:32:18 +0000 UTCI worked while working to make this video.
Everything I said at the end of the video is true. I love my jobs. All of them. And YOU are a big reason why.
The pandemic will be over soon. I hope you all are continuing to stay safe and healthy. Thank you for your continued support.
So what do you think? Should we normalize a 30-hour work week?

2021-04-01 23:33:25 +0000 UTCWow! That’s crazy to think it would be that much. Income inequality in the US is really getting out of hand. In 1960 the minimum wage was $1 by 1981 it was $3.35 tripling in 20 years. In the last 40 years it has only gone up $4.90 that is just sad..

2021-04-01 13:00:22 +0000 UTCNot to my knowledge. Some actually argue that Pinkertons were responsible for placing the bomb!
Mr. Beat
2021-04-01 13:00:06 +0000 UTCHe called for more worker control, yes.
Mr. Beat
2021-04-01 12:58:30 +0000 UTCSo that means minimum wage would be more than $24 an hour!
Mr. Beat
2021-04-01 12:58:08 +0000 UTCGoodness, that sounds a little scary honestly.
Mr. Beat
2021-04-01 12:57:33 +0000 UTCSurprisingly, there's no dress code! I generally just try to appear "professional." :)
Mr. Beat
2021-04-01 12:52:51 +0000 UTCNeat to listen to since not long ago i got a FedEx Kinkos position. Working full time.

2021-04-01 01:41:48 +0000 UTCSo why was Owens a pre-Socolist Socialist? did he share all of his net earnings with his workers? or was his company government-owned? Were you meaning or your source meaning that he had some aspects of Socialism and not others? and what Type of Socialism, people mean a whole lot of things when they say socialism I gave two types without trying in my very questions!

2021-04-01 01:35:05 +0000 UTCWe have certainly come a long way! Now if only wages and benefits could get over the hump. The federal Minimum wage in this country is a joke and should have been tied to inflation from its inception.

2021-04-01 01:29:24 +0000 UTCand my current job i work as a Caretaker. i work very often with a noncomunicative man one on one who likes to tare up a lot of stuff and drag staff everywhere. a button-up shirt is a life savior especially with front pockets that button. i put my cell phone in there and let old-time radio dramas play while he drags me around.

2021-04-01 01:23:35 +0000 UTCDo they make you wear button-up shirts? when I used to be a Bus Monitor for Durham I dropped off kids at middle and Elementary schools in my last year working in the blue valley school distrect. one of the teachers had nice fun creative science tee shirts in the middle school.
