Nice, now you can go from two jobs to three in order to afford a house!
Bernie is an example of what a progressive politician actually looks like.
American politicians (Republicans AND Democrats) have been moving steadily to the right for the last 40 years. So now, Democrats are where the Republicans were in the 1980s, boring corporatists and friends of banks, pharmaceutical and insurance companies.
And the Republicans have moved all the way into an insane asylum. They long for the "good old days" of company towns, run by 19th century robber barons and worry that the six corporations that control all our news are the "liberal news media."
This sounds awesome. Here's what I wanna know though:
What stops your boss from then saying "You better stop at 31.95 hours or you're in trouble." Because they don't wanna pay overtime? They already do this in a lot of jobs.
So, you'd need additional pay to compensate for less hours, but now you have a two-pronged battle because that just sounds way too lovely.
And I'm guessing a lot of the "exempt" office workers that grind themselves into dust the hardest won't be affected?
I mean hey, I'd rather it just passes and we see what happens, and keep fixing it as it goes, at least it's something! But the hardest part is blocking your bosses from weaseling around laws and screwing you anyway.
having your boss say “stop” at 32 hours is the intent of the bill.
Correct. But that's the issue right now. People look at the equation all wrong and say "I just wish I could get more hours!" instead of fighting for reasonable pay. If hours go down but pay doesn't go up to compensate, a ton of people will actually get hit really hard by this and their lives will get worse instead of better.
Companies can use that tired, stupid line that "Washington says you don't have the eagle-screeching-freedom-right to WORK! How dare they!" and people will buy it.
We don't want that, because it'll turn workers against worker-friendly politics, and that would be a Very Bad Thing, given the level of job-simp-indoctrination we're already combating! :O
when workers won the 40 hour week, the 8 hour day, there were basically no restrictions on the time workers could be required to work.
a 32 hour week is a 6 hour day.
This is weak.
Why do you consider this weak?
