This is huge! We need to keep the wave of unionization going! My neighbor has a bumper sticker that reads, "Don't like Unions? Maybe you don't like Weekends either." Unions are responsible for effectively helping to create the concept of a 40 hour work week. I think this should be reduced to a 30 hour work week so instead of 1/3+ of our day be spent at work, we reduce it to 1/4+ some if needed.

I still see job listings recently asking for up to 7 day weeks during busy periods. Like, what.

I missed the closing quote after either, and was like "omg this is one big bumper sticker!".

HA! But it is a great quote though, isn't it? 😆

I would love to see this movement spread to other tech companies.

Good for them. Really proud of this generation for pushing back on capatlist bullshit
