And then I hear that workers in China get one day off a month and companies will continue to talk about international competition...

Without reintroducing tariffs (I'm based in Australia) to protect working conditions, and widespread protest at how poor median conditions are getting I don't see how this situation reverses.

I'd love to see the logic of financial class applied back at them to at least reduce the number of direct votes they have at elections.

No trolling: One day off a month is 12 days per year. Most people in the United States get 10 days or less annual leave.

Most people in the US only work 5 days a week and get ~8 days per month off that are not part of annual leave.

The "one day off a month" means literally, one day of not working per month, not one day of vacation time per month.

After one year of service, the median is in 10-14 day range for vacation; the majority get 10 days or more, and only 39% get less. And this gets better with longer service.

The fuck are you on about? In the US 2 days off per week is standard + additional vacation days.

And weekends.
