The case for the 28-hour work week

Germany already has a 35-hour work week. Now, the country’s most powerful union, IG Metall, is demanding its 3.9 million workers in the electrical and metalworking industries be allowed to work a 28-hour week for two years. The union staged several walkouts to make its point, and is gearing up for nationwide strikes if its demands aren’t met.

Americans should take note.
