Why we used this label
Andy Challenger argues against the 32-hour workweek bill. Challenger said inequality required attention, but argued that this bill would impose costs without an effective solution.
Should Congress adopt Bernie Sanders’s 32-hour-workweek bills? H.R. 10323 and S. 5384 would change federal overtime rules for covered nonexempt workers. Sanders and Takano support them; David McIntosh predicts harm.
