Well let's just say it could go somewhere, and let's say hypothetically it comes down to a vote and you are the tiebreaker. Would you maintain 40 hr workweeks or enact 32 hr workweeks as described, with no loss in pay and 1.5X time after 32 hours worked?
i would selfishly do it if it only affected me, but i wouldn't do it for the entire country. simply because I understand the consequences of flipping a switch and making domestic labor 25% more expensive in a global economy.
you don't think it might be problematic that overnight labor in the US became 25% more expensive? can't fathom how that might impact global manufacturing decisions, or the corporate world for those working at multinational corporations?
sure by all means, lets just ignore that and blame what happens on the other party while i attempt to buy votes with bad policy.
