Right, but this post is literally just about that one thing…
If you want to boo him for the other shit you might want to bring the other stuff up as actual context in the image and repost it with the new context.
Ford is one of the most fascinating people in recent history, it’s a shame to boil him down to “antisemitic car man”
Reading through his wiki is like :D D: :D D: :D D:
The guy was the definition of a mad genius. An authoritarian anti-war socially progressive union-buster. That description doesn’t even make sense, but that’s who he was.
Still more progressive than Switzerland to this day. They have normalized 42.5h workweek. You need to work 8.5 hours to be considered a fulltime employee.
Is a lunch break included here? In Germany it’s the norm to work 40h, but (are obliged to) spend an additional 30 minutes there for lunch. So you’re at work for 42,5h but only get paid for 40.
Nope, lunch is not included and unpaid (unless specified in contract, but virtually no one pays for lunch). Effectively ypu’re at work for 9.5 -10 hours.
There’s no such thing as a normalized workweek here in Switzerland. Most have 40-42h. The average are ~41h (edit: it seems that number is a few years old and it’s now just shy of 40h - but it’s too late in the evening to dig deeper). But yea, in certain jobs/industries, it can also be considerable more.
True it’s not nkrmalised. That’s my bad. All companies I met had more than 40h a week though. And even when I worked in a government owned company it was 42.5h
Boo him? Do you have any idea how progressive this was at the time???
That one thing was progressive.
The literal Nazi shit he got up to, on the other hand…

The better option is the co-opt.
Workers owning the business and working to make it better for themselves.
