Dear reader,

The revival of the labor movement is one of the most exciting
developments of the past several years. It's also one of the most
arduous. Workers have to fight store by store at the thousands of
Starbucks locations in the U.S. to get a voice on the job. And even if
they do, completing that first contract will require brutal, years-long
negotiations.

Our labor reporters Isabelle Gius and Sarah Jaffe have some ideas, not
only for how to better ensure union rights at work, but to make work
less arduous.

As part of our Prospects 2032 series on
progressive ideas for the next ten years, Gius highlights sectoral
bargaining, which would allow labor negotiations across entire
industries, rather than worksite by worksite. And Jaffe reports on the
movement for a four-day work week, so that workers gain real benefits
from their increased productivity. A shorter workweek was one of the
founding principles of the labor movement, and it can be once again.

Read Isabelle Gius's piece here.

The Prospect is committed to original and unique reporting about this
promising moment for American labor.
