"Bernie Sanders Advocates for 32-Hour Workweek with No Pay Cut"

Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced a bill to establish a 32-hour workweek with no loss of pay, arguing that American workers are over 400% more productive than in the 1940s but are working longer hours for lower wages. The bill, titled the Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act, aims to reduce the standard workweek from 40 to 32 hours over four years by lowering the overtime pay threshold for non-exempt employees. Sanders cited the success of similar measures in European countries and highlighted the potential benefits for businesses and individuals. Critics have raised concerns about the financial feasibility for all companies, but Sanders emphasized the need to share the benefits of technological advancements with the working class and improve Americans' quality of life.
