“i believe this is the universal standard”
Fair Workweek Act of 2023
Rationale
It’s time to reduce our workweek from an exploitable 48 hours to the fairer, globally recognized standard of 40 hours per week. People are not tools. A tired workforce is a less productive workforce, and expecting people to work excessive hours doesn’t create value for the country.
