minus-squareLandless2029@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up19arrow-down1·edit-217 hours agoI recall one of the ways to enforce a 4 day workweek was to enforce OT starting at 32 hours. You could keep working 40+ hrs a week but it would hit the owners wallets. Combine that with raising minimum wage and you’re getting closer to UBI. Neither one would help me I think being salary and around medium working class.

minus-squareLandless2029@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·15 hours agoThe offset is ypu need to pay for overhead like benefits/HR/payroll/licenses/training for more employees. So there’s a breakeven somewhere in there. If anything it’s more jobs.

That’s my point…
