With all the automation in the workforce, people living longer along an ever growing population jobs are sinking. This is a problem that will need to be addressed some time or another.

While looking at a piece of equipment being install that was one of the first automated machines at a Ford auto plant.I think it was Hoffa and Ford that were talking one time and Ford stated, "How are you going to get it to join the union?" Hoffa replied "right after you figure out how to get it to buy your cars!"

So I'm all for more time off and shorter work hours if it would mean full employment.

The company I retired from let you bank up to 150 days of sick time (15 years of no sick time @ 10 days a year) you could use towards retirement, added to the six weeks of vacation you could get after 15 years.
