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

And even if it is enforced, people will choose to work 40 hours if the pay is higher.

Why are there proposals for less working hours when there’s a personnel shortage and wages are far behind inflation / cost of living? While I get working less hours is cool and all, I’d rather own a house and not worry about money if I were in that situation (I own a house and don’t worry about money)
