thought of the term literacy as being able to physically read a written piece of work. I thought the ability to read was when an individual could actually pick up a book‚ magazine‚ or even the daily news‚ and have the ability to understand the collage or words on the page.

So‚ labor unions believe that they should have the workweek lowered from 45 hours to 35 hours. The Far-right party would definitely be in opposition of this proposal. We can see a case of this in France. The 35-hour work week has been a largely debated topic in the elections. The ruling class has clashed with the labor parties on this heated topic.
