No, but there should be more jobs with benefits for people who only want to work 32 hr work weeks (which are important to many). I support the 40 hr workweek for most as it is good for our economy.
@B36RSSJConservative2mos2MO
test if it works, if we see a noticeable decrease, then no. If people produce a similar amount of work, or exact same, why not keep it in place
@B2YGNWJ2mos2MO
Yes, but there should be an expansion for required benefits in industries that are primarily staffed by hourly workers who would be unaffected by the 4 day week (ie: recreation or food service) and instead see an increase in demand.
@9R6WDNZ9mos9MO
Yes, but wages must match what they would make for a 40 hour work week, and after 32 hours should be overtime pay
@9FC3HB82yrs2Y
Yes, but need a plan for teachers.
@9DKJPVNConservative2yrs2Y
No, but incentivize work days that do not have to be 8 hour shifts.
@9C4N53J2yrs2Y
Yes, but time should be allocated towards betterment of ones self. such as gym, better meal prepping, etc. workers comp should also be reduced with this work week.
@96D62NZConservative3yrs3Y
Yes but, only for certain jobs
@8YLNZTD3yrs3Y
This should be negotiated between employee and employer
@9C8YBHH2yrs2Y
We could definitely try it for a while
@93WXGY33yrs3Y
Leave it up to individual citizens and organizations.
