ty more poverty line jobs by reducing the already inadequate wages of workers, the alternative of a crash programme of useful public works big enough to employ all the four million unemployed at the average industrial wage, must be fought and argued for.
In response to the phony "job-splitting" concept, the demand should be raised for a sliding scale of wages and hours, both within existing factories and enterprises, and within a programme of public works.
Work sharing on full pay is the only realistic basis on which to solve the problem of unemployment - something which capitalism is utterly incapable of doing.
But is there a socialist answer to the whole carnival of government 'funny job' schemes? We'll discuss that next week.
