[lbo-talk] sabbaticals for all

[Gar Lipow]

Year ago, I heard of a concept that was essentially sabbaticals for
all; everybody gets one year in seven off as paid leave. Now I can't
find any source for it. I'm sure Tom Walker or Eugene  Coyle or one of
the many people who pay concentrate on reducing working time must be
familiar with it.  Not incompatible with a shorter work week, since
the sabbatical by itself only reduces a 40 hour week to a bit over 34
hours averaged over seven  years. Still plenty of room to reduce the
length of the workweek as well.  Anyway I'd be curious as to where the
idea originated, and who has been advocating for it in the last few
decades.
