The #UAW members want, among other things, a 32-hour work week. While still getting paid for 40 hours. This is not as far-fetched as it seems at first glance. Basically, it would be the equivalent of a 25% increase in hourly wage, which isn't that far from what the #BigThree are already offering. The City of #Montreal's #BlueCollar employees went through a similar situation in the '90s. Once the Union demonstrated it resulted in actual savings for the employer, it was adopted.
