[P2P-F] historical success of shorter working week

[Juliet Schor]

Michel

A great historical source is Ben Hunnicutt's Work without End. His book on the Kellogg workers six hour day finds a less positive outcome.
My student, Anders Hayden, has written a very nice paper on France, which I attach here. I am also cc:ing Ben Hunnicutt who may have some good references on positive cases. Ben, any ideas?

Dear Juliet, Orsan, and friends,

Can anyone point to the historical experience with shorter working weeks (with keeping full pay)?

As far as  I know, these experiences were very positive overall, but I'd like to see this confirmed with concrete references,

Michel
