32 hr work week is yet another Red Herring by Bernie. Seems Bernie's job is to keep the base distracted with new shiny new things, so the base will not notice inflation, wars, out-of-control spending.......... and the Fact the Dems never delivered on medical care for everyone
The 40-hour workweek has been standard in the U.S. for more than eight decades. Now some members of Congress want to give hourly workers an extra day off. Here’s what to know about the proposal. https://t.co/z3ZhIP9phl

My going-against-the-grain take here is that there's a ton of wasted time in the 40hr workweek and productivity would probably go up overall if we shortened it. Why? Because that's what happened when the 40hr workweek was introduced way back in the day.
Do you think this is a good idea by Senator Sanders? https://t.co/03TTZVCjN9

The data is positive on a four-day workweek and I’m all for it.

People have less leisure time today because low wages force them to work longer hours. That means less time for church, social clubs, exercise, hobbies, and all the things that bring us connection and happiness. We need to talk about this. So I did this week. https://t.co/GKKDrxTEJM
It took decades of organizing just to get a 40 hour work week. Many workers died in the process, including 7 here in Bay View in 1886. https://t.co/7LjB9CbvP1 https://t.co/jyABcZVy26

While CEOs are making nearly 350x as much as their employees, workers are missing their kids’ birthday parties and little league games...and many of them, STILL do not have enough money to pay the rent. We need a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay. https://t.co/Q3KRyNrQ34
Americans work longer hours than the people of any other wealthy nation. That is unacceptable. Every worker deserves time to spend on loved ones, leisure, and rest without having to worry about making ends meet. That’s why I’m cosponsoring @SenSanders’s 32-Hour Workweek Act https://t.co/lY15tUbcLo
“The sad reality is Americans now work more than the people of any other wealthy nation.” Sen. Bernie Sanders said. https://t.co/eH8smT2DgK
The 32-Hour Workweek Act by @SenSanders is "so radical" it only has the support of 64% of Americans including 73% of Democrats & 54% of Republicans. What's radical is the standard 40-hour workweek hasn't changed in 84 years while productivity has gone up 400% since the 1940s. https://t.co/WT84bpy5ey
"Today, American workers are over 400% more productive than they were in the 1940s," said Sanders. "And yet, millions of Americans are working longer hours for lower wages than they were decades ago. That has got to change." https://t.co/fqgZPSJCE7
Bernie’s proposal for 32 hour workweek brings to mind a line from a friend in manufacturing: “The American work ethic is alive and well ... in Malaysia.”

No, @SenSanders, what is RADICAL is @DeanPreston approach to endangering humans in SF. How can you support my lounge singer? He has 1 job to sing at my Xmas party for 3 straight hours, only classic from his catalog. Like "Shhh I shop at @ErewhonMarket and don't care about… https://t.co/Gz096E2hLC
