Work Hours Reduction Act of 2011
Rationale
Reducing the workweek to 40 hours, bringing Saxenheim on par with the highest standards, protects workers' health and free time, and helps companies boost productivity and save on energy bills. In today's digital society work should be measured by objectives first (MBO): happiness equals efficiency.
