France and Germany are considering implementing a four-day workweek, following calls by politicians like Bernie Sanders for a 32-hour workweek with no pay cuts. Despite demands by the UAW during contract negotiations with automakers, the proposal was not successful. The idea of shorter workweeks is gaining traction globally, with some questioning the necessity of such changes.

From @WSJopinion: The growing availability of four-day workweeks, hybrid schedules, remote work and the gig economy reveals that Bernie Sanders’s bill isn’t radical as much as it is superfluous and unnecessary, writes Jon Decker https://t.co/4kdsQv3bBf
As part of their contract negotiations with the Big Three automakers, @UAW called for the introduction of a 32-hour workweek, @SenSanders and @ShawnFainUAW write. Despite significant gains in their contract, they weren’t successful in winning that demand. https://t.co/FzDWGQef7Q

The 40-hour workweek was established in 1940. Call me a radical, but I’d say there have been a few modest changes in the economy since then. In the year 2024, it’s time for a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay. https://t.co/0LNkeTV5mV
