We discuss the impending electric vehicle transition and it's effect on autoworkers. We also discuss how reducing work hours could be the key to both addressing job losses and increasing our quality of life.
For those interested in reading more on the 30 for 40 movement I recommend checking out Johnathan Cutler’s book “Labor’s Time: Shorter Hours, the UAW and the Struggle for American Unionism” It's particularly good in audiobook format for those long days in the shop. All our sources are listed below. If you’d like a reminder about our upcoming podcasts please email us at unitygainspodcast@gmail.com and make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode.
