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.

That wouldn't work in a lot of jobs, but it would in a lot. However, I don't think WalMart is doing it to promote full employment.
