A NECESSARY REVOLUTION !
by DEF KLF / EKO
During the latest election campaign
in France, the ecologist parties talked
about "Sharing" the work. Old parties
laughed a lot... " Those utopic ecolo-
gists are priceless ! " they said.
French wealth is rising constancy.
Since 1981 its GDP ( Gross Domestic
Product ( PIB for Frenchies)) increased
of 35%.
Quoted share on the Stock exchange
rised of 400%.
And we don't consume less than we did.
So why is there so many unemployed
people ?
Because employers need less and less
people to produce better and more thanx
to new technologies.
An example:
In 1985 in Belgium, 39200 workers were
used to produce 10,6 millions of tons
of steel.
In 1990, 21200 workers could produce
11,5 millions of tons.
Conclusion: Production +10%
Workers -50%
Production and work haven't anymore
a real link, so why should we be paid
only for our work when employers have
also money from machine work and pay
taxes on men and not machines.
Unemployment, early retirement, RMI,
training paid by the government...
cost every year about 380 billions in
France.
And every year taxes must be risen for
the new unemployed.
What is called "Share of Work" or
"Work Revolution" doesn't mean that
with 1 job, 2 people will work, but
that every workers will work about 5
hours less a week, and that employers
just pay the worked hours so it costs
the same price for the company to have
100 people working 39 hours than 115
people working 34 hours.
But you will told me that people
won't accept to be paid less. That is
right, because in that case we don't
share work but unemployment.
So the governement have to pay the 5
hours of work that people don't work
with the money they used to give to
unemployed.
And so everybody is happy, we work
less for the same pay, more people
work, people don't feel paying taxes
for lazy unemployed.
Moreover as we can't consume more and
more every year ( we can't have all 3
cars per family all around the world
due to ecologic problems or to eat
twice more what we eat in 93.).
Whereas productivity has no reason
to stop we can expect to work 20 hours
a week or less in the next decades. And
we will have to learn new ways to spend
our time, to do voluntary work for
charitable organization, to play with
computers, or any activity for the
community to live in a better world
together.
As you can see Ecologist Work Share is
different from what we often hear on
Radio, TV it doesn't mean flexitime
chose by employers when there are work,
or decrease the pay with the working
time,nor precarious work.
You still think ecologists are utopic,
or if you want to ask me questions
about things you don't understand or
about things that as for you can't
work, please write me, or to Amazine,
because I really believe in this
politic, I've read many articles and
heard many people about this subject
and I think I can answer you.
