| Summary: | "Time Out! looks at the changes in work and working time and the impact they are having on all workers. Good-paying union jobs are replaced by low-paid, unsafe nonunion "contingent" jobs. Injuries and stress related diseases are on the rise. Working-class family incomes are falling.
Time Out! talks about solutions. It looks at those who have fought excessive overtime, family-busting alternative work schedules, and the overwork they bring. It looks at how part-time or contract workers can organize and bargain to win decent wages and benefits.
Time Out! offers a way forward for labor. The fight for a shorter work week with no loss in pay, argues authors Kim Moody and Simone Sagovac, is the key to saving our health, our families, and our jobs. It can also revitalize and unite the labor movement around a goal that benefits every working person." |
