GARCIA RAMOS, Tania. Politics for Dignity: A Proposal to go Beyond the Workers Crisis. Trab. soc. [online]. 2014, n.22, pp.437-446. ISSN 1514-6871.

The purpose of this article is to present a proposal consisting of four policies to go beyond the workers crisis and promote an emancipatory society. These policies are: 1) The reduction of working hours, 2) The extension of leisure, 3) a guaranteed social income, and 4) Social rent. In the paper, I will explain each of them and the possibility of creating a Politics for dignity. The reduction of working hours integrates the positive aspects of the technological revolution, increasing leisure for everyone. Leisure gives humans the opportunity to empower their lives. Leisure activities will be the principle that guides social reproduction. It will be used for the creation and enjoyment of social things eliminating excessive work. The reduction of working hours will be guaranteed by a social income that ensures dignity; it does not implicate an income reduction. Humans will unite in two levels: 1) In the humanization and enrichment of work, and 2) The reduction of working hours without decreasing income. Peoples´ income will consist of a direct income and a social rent, saved and distributed by the State, that will guarantee life in periods of work and leisure.

Palabras clave : Politics for dignity; Reduction of working hours; Leisure; Guaranteed social income; Social rent.
