"Senate Democrats Introduce Bill for 32-Hour Workweek in Response to AI and Automation"
Senator Bernie Sanders has proposed a bill to reduce the standard workweek from 40 to 32 hours, with preserved pay, but faces significant opposition in a divided Congress. While labor advocates highlight the benefits for workers and employers, political analysts doubt its passage due to high polarization. The proposal has limited support in Congress, with Republicans expressing concerns about its impact on businesses. Despite global momentum for shorter workweeks, experts believe the bill faces an uphill battle for approval.
