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.

    • It would be immense proggress if this could be achieved. The standard of life for the working class is dropping in to the abyss. Society is suffering badly at the hands of global capitalism. I support this petition as it is a forward step.

    • If you really want to make a statement, get naked either alone or preferably as a group, especially if there are lots of women with big tits, that gets lots of attention.
