Comment on Bernie Sanders Champions 32-Hour Work Week With No Loss in Pay

Which is why we need to build class solidarity, unions, and strike. A hundred years ago, people fought for everything they could get. They didn’t say “safe working conditions or a 40h work week.” They said, “we want all we can get.”

Yes that’d be good. But I still don’t see the advantage of only talking about these as a package deal.

How does putting these as separate line items in negations compromise the position?
