John, imagine if
every single weekend was a three-day weekend.
Sen. Bernie Sanders is trying to make this a reality. ⬇️
[ [link removed] ]A headline from NBC News details Senator Bernie Sanders' bill to
introduce a 32 hour workweek bill in the Senate.
Sanders’ bill, titled the “Thirty-Two Hour Work Week Act,” would reduce
the average working week from 40 to 32 hours over the next four years. The
bill would also lower the maximum hours required for overtime compensation
for nonexempt employees in addition to other provisions designed to help
workers.
Moving to a 32-hour workweek is not a radical idea,
John. [ [link removed] ]If you agree, can you

Today, American workers are more than 400 percent more productive than
they were in the 1940s.
As of 2019, nearly 40 percent of U.S. workers are putting in more than 50
hours a week. The average full-time worker is now working 42 hours a week
and this estimate doesn’t factor in the millions of Americans who have to
work multiple jobs just to make ends meet.
Meanwhile, as CEOs have continued to see their salaries increase
exponentially, their workers are working longer hours than ever before for
even lower wages.
But it doesn't have to be this way,
John.
The Thirty-Two Hour Work Week Act is a bold initiative that will better
the lives of Americans everywhere. Nearly a century ago, critics of the
five-day workweek predicted doom as they worried a weekend would set the
economy back. Instead, it helped launch what became a thriving middle
class.
