Vermont senator Bernie Sanders introduces four-day workweek bill
Bernie Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont and two-time Democratic presidential candidate, has introduced a bill aimed at implementing a four-day workweek in the United States.
Studies and pilot programs have demonstrated that shorter workweeks can lead to increased productivity and overall happiness among workers.
However, with Republicans controlling the House and a Senate divided 51-49 in favor of Democrats, the likelihood of the legislation passing is slim.
“Moving to a 32-hour workweek with no loss of pay is not a radical idea,” Sanders said on Thursday. “Today, American workers are over 400% more productive than they were in the 1940s. And yet millions of Americans are working longer hours for lower wages than they were decades ago.”
The bill has garnered support from Laphonza Butler, a Democratic senator from California, and Mark Takano, a House Democrat also from California, who are co-sponsors of the legislation alongside Sanders, The Guardian reported.
