Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., said Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' proposed 32-hour workweek with no pay loss would squeeze small businesses and kill jobs.
Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy is warning that a proposed 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay would kill jobs or dramatically increase inflation. Cassidy, the Republican ranking member on the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions , torched the proposal from his colleague, Chairman Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., at a hearing on Thursday.
"Moving to a 32-hour workweek with no loss of pay is not a radical idea," Sanders said in a press release. "Today, American workers are over 400 percent more productive than they were in the 1940s. And yet, millions of Americans are working longer hours for lower wages than they were decades ago. That has got to change." MORE THAN 60 COMPANIES TRIED A FOUR-DAY WORK WEEK AND RESULTS SHOW WHY 92% ARE KEEPING IT Cassidy sees things differently.
