We, the undersigned, ask world governments of the United Nations to make a decision in favor of working people. Please protect the dignity and human rights of all workers throughout the world by limiting the time a person may be employed by another for profit.

We demand an international law limiting the hours of labor to 24 hours per week, either by 3 eight-hour days or 4 six-hour days, as to be determined by local unions. Reductions in the work week are also long overdue, therefore we further demand workers should be granted at minimum, one additional day off per week, or rather "the 3 day weekend." And finally, the third goal of this petition is to ask that employers be required to give employees 6 weeks paid vacation annually.

The above demands should be adopted and implemented as soon as possible.

    • If you had a real job and actually did some real work, you wouldn't have time to sit around thinking up all this garbage. I would like to put a shovel in your hand and have you dig ditches for 12 hours a day in 100 degree weather and then tell you half of your pay will go to taxes to pay for social programs that dumbshts like you promote.

    • I don't mind working 18 hours a day. I do mind the 30% taxes, imposed laws, capitalist enslavement, unequal treament of fellow humans, and unnecessary suffaring all cause by evil materilistic minded. Forget all those indebted to you, and hope your debts are forgoten: for what is life if you cannot enjoy it as the indivual human being you are. There are enough of us humans in the world: why can't we figure out how to make each other happy and comfortable our entire lives? Why must money be involved to do this? When will humanity outgrow the dependancy on trade? Can't we figure out how to make more 'desireables' , and not profits? Fix the system first, and the hours worked will fall into place. I am not religious; however, do what Jesus told you to do long ago if you are religious. If you are not religious, then do unto humanity as you would want done unto you. Have a good day:)
