It would give employers an incentive to treat their personnel well.
It would give the unemployed an incentive to accept part-time jobs.
It would give people who have a job the option of reducing their own hours, freeing up work for others.
the fear that millions of people would choose to "do nothing" for years or decades is unfounded. People who want luxuries will still have to work for them.

Yes if it's not done in a neoliberal way (i.e., privatization). Working people will get additional money.
