Congress weighs phased 32-hour workweek with no pay cut
TL;DR Summary
A new bill, the Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act, would gradually lower the federal overtime threshold from 40 hours to 32 hours over four years (38, 36, 34, then 32) without reducing workers’ pay or benefits, seeking to align labor standards with advances in AI and automation; introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Mark Takano, its passage seems unlikely with Republicans in control.
