"Bernie Sanders Supports UAW's Push for a 4-Day Workweek"

Bernie Sanders expressed support for a 4-day workweek, aligning with the demands of striking auto workers. He argued that long working hours contribute to declining life expectancy in the US and emphasized the need to reduce stress and improve work-life balance. Sanders suggested that a shorter workweek, such as a 32-hour, four-day week, could be a just reward for increased worker productivity and advancements in technology. He called for a serious discussion on lowering the workweek and acknowledged the United Auto Workers' efforts in initiating this conversation.
