In reply to the discussion: Bernie: ''Moving to a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay is not radical" [View all]Donkees
(33,749 posts)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 workers 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.
The Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act is endorsed by: AFL-CIO, UAW, SEIU, AFA-CWA, UFCW,
International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE), 4 Day Week Global,
WorkFour, and the National Employment Law Project (NELP).
