Do Americans love work, or fear losing it? @julietschor.bsky.social argues most Americans who do overwork are protecting their jobs, not chasing a passion. Joanne Lipman argues the culture runs deeper & working more has become a badge of honor. Watch the full debate on all OTD platforms.

What happens when productivity rises, but workers don’t get more time back? Drawing on @julietschor.bsky.social’s decades of research, Steve Early and Suzanne Gordon examine the renewed push for a 32-hour work week—and the labor power it would take to make it widespread.

A 4-Day Work Week Sounds Great. How Do We Get One?
Workers deserve far more time off the job. But getting to a shorter work week will require a labor movement that can wield power to extract such demands.
