Automation is one of the biggest job killers. Robots replaced spot welders and other workers on the assembly line. Computers swept away office jobs.

One of the UAW’s demands is a 32-hour work week to keep and create jobs. Technology should be used to make people’s lives better, not to increase joblessness and misery.

Anyway to make a truly secular and inclusive world I propose a Monday-Wednesday work-week and a Thursday-Sunday weekend. I think anyone of any or no religion could all get behind this.

5-Days Workweek: The Pros and Cons of a 5-day Working Culture

The traditional system of a five-day workweek has been the basis for the human workplace for several decades; however, it’s of utmost importance to observe its pros and cons both optimistically and pessimistically as we shift into a new era where people work.
