I don‘t see how smaller shifts at the same pay wouldn‘t work in virtually every industry. What‘s so different about a butcher, carpenter or taxi driver compared to a store clerk who works half time already? In terms of organizing I mean. There isn‘t a professional that isn‘t affected by ever developing automation processes. At least indirectly, but only the rich get to reap it‘s benefits for as long as I live. It‘s time to change that and a universal 30 hour work week is a good start.
If you let your office worker who only works effectively fo 30 hours go after these, instead of having a shitshat coffee for 2 hours every day at the office, you still get the same result.
If you let your butcher go after 30 hours you need to hire another one, because you need a butcher there during opening hours.
