- According to CNSNews.com, California Democratic Rep. Mark Takano has filed a bill that would cut the traditional 40-hour work week to just 32 hours. The bill primarily affects hourly workers.
- “This bill would necessitate that employers either compensate workers for those additional hours [meaning pay overtime after 32 hours] or hire more workers to fill in the gaps,” Takano’s office said in a statement.
- “This will allow for more work sharing and labor market participation while creating a healthier competition in the workplace that empowers workers to negotiate for better wages and working conditions.”
