A proposal in Congress would shorten the standard workweek for millions of Americans without reducing their pay or benefits if it passes.
Rep. Mark Takano, D-California, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, reintroduced the Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act on Sept. 8.
The legislation would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act and gradually lower threshold to earn overtime pay to 32 hours a week from 40.
The Fair Labor Standards Act is the federal law
