Justice Democrats Implements Four-Day Work Week

Justice Democrats, a progressive organization that helped elect lawmakers like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, has adopted a four-day work week for its 20 employees on a trial basis since August 2021. The policy has been extended indefinitely after employees reported better productivity and work-life balance. The move comes as progressive leaders like Bernie Sanders advocate for a shorter work week, arguing that the 40-hour week established in 1938 no longer reflects Americans' working lives. Critics fear increased labor costs and decreased productivity, but studies have shown that reduced stress levels among employees with shorter working weeks can ultimately make companies more productive in the long run.
