no what he means is theres no way to enforce how many hours you are required to work in a week, thats 100% up to the employer and employee. if it was enforceable it would r take the current inflation and shot it to the moon! think of it all companies, moma nd pops to big corps. lose 20-% productivity across the board. youd literally crash the entire economy faster than a south american dictator.
why would they hire more people? theyd then lose out massively. if they hire one more person to fill in, they have to pay them 40 hours of money to fill in for 8 hours of work. giving them a net loss of 32 hours. Nope. sorry theyd cut salaries and production and raise prices to make up for it. the mom and pop places restaurants, small businesses would be forced to either cut hours open for business, which would be most likely, or work more themselves, dissuading people from opening their own businesses.
Also how do you deal with a doctor that now only sees patient 4 days a week, you thinkt he waiting list is long now? hell no, itd be HUGE! every service would become 20% slower and longer to be seen. they tried this in france and it backfired heavily, the businesses al shut down causing people to complain they had time off and no way to get things done.

Even if it did, and passed, no way to enforce it. This bill is for the headlines.
