A proposal to shorten the workweek is being considered. Two lawmakers, Rep. Mark Takano and Sen. Bernie Sanders, are behind the effort. They have reintroduced a bill that aims to reduce the standard workweek to 32 hours.
Employees would not see a reduction in pay or benefits under this plan. Overtime pay would be eligible for those working more than 32 hours.
The idea is to update labor standards, which have remained largely unchanged for nearly 90 years. Further details about the proposal are available from the source.
