The biggest site in English on this topic is probably Timesizing.org (or .com), with 5 1/2 years of data and a developed 3-phase worksharing program with phases on each end to protect it from central-bank or overpopulation undermining (Timesizing.org/2ts.htm). The eighteen states that currently have worksharing or shared work programs are listed on Timesizing.org/2wksharg.htm with hotlinks to any available webpages and are followed by a list of countries with worksharing programs, again with hotlinks. The history of the American workweek appears on Timesizing.org/1hstwkwk.htm and Timesizing.org/1933.htm . Major working models or case studies on Timesizing.org/1cases.htm and ongoing ‘reinventions of the wheel’ on Timesizing.org/1gtscase.htm . Lots of relevant books on Timesizing.org/1bibliog.htm . Much on the website explains exactly how Reduced Hours presents an anti-meltdown strategy.
