32 Hour Work Week
Posted on 3/15/24 at 6:55 am
Posted on 3/15/24 at 6:55 am
Bernie Sanders has proposed legislation to
Mandate a 32 hour work week instead of a 40 hour work week with no reduction in pay.
Sanders: 'Many of our people are exhausted. We work longest hours of any people in the industrialized world... I think it is time for a shortened work week'
Straw poll- yea or nay?

That's the established standard across the Pond.
32-hour work week as a national labor mandate.... why not? I think most burnt-out daily drudge workers would say it's a good thing.

Bernie got soft hands

Of course, nay. It’s just another scheme to force a 25% pay raise and the hiring of more workers (and thus extending benefits to more people) to maintain the same man-hours worked/gross income over time for the business. It would just further exacerbate inflation.

This is cute, coming from a man who's never truly worked a 40-hour work week.

Who cares how many hours someone is putting in. Businesses need people that work part time. It offers flexibility and lower rates.
However, the bigger factor is that most require 40 hours to be eligible for benefits. So this proposal would essentially make part time workers available for benefits.

How is this enforceable short of passing a federal law AND then passing federal wage increase?
It'll never happen and it's ridiculous

Perhaps if more people actually used Sundays as days of rest, this wouldn't be a discussion.

Just another assault on principles of God. Why don’t people like to work?

What could go wrong…..
Also, You think my work week would change? Nope. I had 60 hrs since last Friday…..on salary….
Also how do you enforce the “with no loss in pay” for hourly workers? What about workers with contracts? Union workers with contracts?
That would also mean a 4 day school day…. How will kids survive without free daycare and free lunch for another day

My weekend would start just after lunch. On Thursday.
Posted on 3/15/24 at 7:09 am to SlidellCajun
I work on average 60 hours per week. I often feel burnt out.
How does this work? Are we in overtime after 32 instead of 40 hours?

Most 40 hr a week people already only work 32 hrs or less when you deduct their paid lunches and breaks.
Posted on 3/15/24 at 7:11 am to SlidellCajun
If you can’t work 40 hrs in a week, I feel sorry for you.
Posted on 3/15/24 at 7:16 am to SlidellCajun
Bernie is a lazy pussy.
Posted on 3/15/24 at 7:22 am to SlidellCajun
How about keeping the 40 hour work week but only pay taxes based on the first 32 hours? Watch morale soar.

If you want to work 32 hours a week, fine, but don’t be upset when some other person hustles and works more than that and gets ahead of you.

Liberals are lazy and want something for nothing. Water is wet

My company operates on a 35 hour work week. 9-5 with 1 hr. for lunch.
Of course, I work as many hours as it takes.
