This is fine as long as you realize that the price of most things will rise. If an employer has to hire additional people to provide the service hours required the net effect is that cost is pasted onto you.

      I don’t think this will ever become law in the US in the near future. The biggest change for some workers came about because of the covid lunacy. So many were “forced” to work remotely and loved it. It was fun after they could no longer play the “we are all going die from covid” how employers wanted everyone to come back. This was total bullshit. If people were productive working remote why did they need to drag their ass back into an office

        This would force most people back to an office.

        I work a couple hour a day most days. They prob would give me more work if this became law

        I’m all for worker rights but this would leave to mass layoffs and more work. Thanks Bernie.

        I think Bernie believes his own BS but he’s not very smart.

          It’s all about the leftist approach to things. Sound great. Feels good. But never consider the overall effects. Small brains operate on “feels”. Intelligent people operate on facts

            As a left-aligned person I am fascinated by this perspective. For me, I consider not caring about people to be evil, not intelligent.

              Good point. “Caring about people and feeling good” is more important than the results of policies that in the end make the average person worse off. But you can always blame someone else for the policy after the results are in.

            I work 10-20 hours a week. Some weeks 2-3 hours. A few weeks 60 hours. Most weeks 10.

            If they cut our work week from 40-32. I’d be forced to do 32. No thanks.
