The Work Less Party

My old friend and neighbour Tom Walker has surfaced as a candidate for a new political party here in BC: the Work Less Party.

Tom has been a passionate advocate for the 35 hour work week for as long as I have known him, seven years or more. He has done some really interesting labour relations research in his day too. With the launch of this political party, it’s clear that he has put his money where his mouth is. The party is no joke…Tom’s work has largely been about the social, economic and cultural benefits of a 35 hour work week, and if that seems too narrow a peg to hang a platform on, well, it beats tax cuts as the hub of a constellation of solutions.
