 About swwac |
The Shorter Work Week Action Committee is a network of activists - in unions, community groups and political organisations - committed to promoting action to progressively reduce work hours without loss of pay - to create full employment, to unite employed & unemployed workers, to emancipate labour and to start the 21st century in a civilised way. We gather information, broadcast news, analyse and try to explain economic trends as they apply to everyday experience of time and work. We take steps to encourage actions to realise our common future visions and goals, round the key organising element and necessary struggle by labour to lessen hours worked in relation to income (as surely as employers as a class constantly strive to get more work and time for wages from labour).
* creates new
work opportunities
* gives more leisure time to full time workers
* increases wages (hourly rates) for part-timers
* allows us to more fully exercise our civic responsibilities
* ensures productivity leads to more free creative time, not more
unemployment
* gives labour an incentive to improve work practice
* gives capital an incentive to innovate
* puts people not profits at the centre of economics
