More Humane Work Week Act of 2012
Rationale
The current law on maximum working hours is demoralising and focusing the interests of corporations and the profits they make from hard-working people. We need to reduce these insane work weeks with a 4-day maximum. Studies show that productivity will increase, and everyone will profit.

Party
Leftist Unity
A coalition of left-wing ideas and goals to work together for a better, more fair future. No longer will the top 1% control both the present and the future, and our generation must take on our responsibility to resist.
