"In other words, it’s not a complete shock that the 32-hour week was not in the contracts the union won. But Fain doesn’t see it as a mere bargaining chip. Rather, it’s the start of a long-term strategy for the union, one he hopes the rest of labor will pick up: “I really felt it was imperative to get the dialogue going again, to try to fight for a shorter workweek and get the public thinking along those lines.”"

Its not in our negotiations this contract, but I hope its put out next time. If nothing else, as one of those bluesky chips, (like unionizing Pages and other non-BU employees,) to remove for some of the Admin's bluesky ones. Get us closer to a middle ground want.
