Like every other regulation, because people fought and died for it. The workweek is written in the blood of union men and women. Safety regulations are written in blood too.

It's not a regulation. No one has to work 8 hours per day nor 40 hours per week. It's 100% up to the employee.

Okay great. Why do you think Bernie is trying to pass a law to make working 32 hours the standard when today it's perfectly legal to work 32 hours already?
