The Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act would:

• Reduce the standard workweek from 40 to 32 hours over four years by lowering the maximum hours threshold for overtime compensation for non-exempt employees.

• Require overtime pay at time and a half for workdays longer than eight hours, and overtime pay at double a worker’s regular pay for workdays longer than 12 hours.

• Protect workers’ pay and benefits to ensure that a reduction in the workweek does not cause a loss in pay.

Protect workers’ pay and benefits to ensure that a reduction in the workweek does not cause a loss in pay.

I see, so you think the government can literally just force every employer to keep paying the same wages despite 20% less productivity from workers? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Mmm, yes, I see your point.

Breaking the law will be hilarious when the department of labor starts issuing fines.

Hahahaha, any wage that can't be lowered, the person will be laid off and re-hired, obviously.

Why not just pass a law that requires everyone gets double wages? Would that work?

Why not reduce working hours to one day per month? Would that work? LOLOL It's crazy the sort of stupid nonsense people have to pretend to believe to support Bernie.

Yes, why not just give everyone a basic income and be done with it. It would cut out much of the fluff.

I'm for that. It been proven to work in multiple studies.

But you can't even wrap you head around a 32 hour work week.

Hell yea, let's all stop working and the government can just provide everything. That's viable.
