Sanders Reintroduces 32-Hour Workweek Bill

Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Mark Takano have reintroduced the Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act. The bill aims to lower the standard workweek for nonexempt employees from 40 to 32 hours over four years, mandating overtime pay for hours beyond 32. The proposal argues that productivity gains from AI and technology should benefit workers through reduced hours, not just corporate profits.
