Bernie Sanders, Pushes For a 4-Day Workweek.
On September 17, Senator Bernie Sanders
urged a "serious discussion" on
establishing a four-day workweek.
'The Hill' reports that Sanders said his push for a
shortened workweek is the result of a United Auto
Workers (UAW) strike launched last week.

As a nation, we should begin a serious discussion — and the UAW is doing that — about substantially lowering the workweek, Bernie Sanders, via CNN.
The UAW strike started on September 15
against three major automakers:
Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.

The union said its looking for
increased wages, shorter workweeks
and improved retirement benefits.
Sanders argued that increases
in productivity warrant
a shorter average workweek.
We are looking at an explosion
in this country of artificial intelligence
and robotics. And that means
that the average worker is going
to be much more productive. , Bernie Sanders, via CNN.
The question as a nation that
we have got to ask ourselves is,
who’s going to benefit from that
increased productivity?, Bernie Sanders, via CNN.
Is all of that new income and wealth
being created by worker productivity
going to go to the people on top,
or are workers going to benefit?, Bernie Sanders, via CNN.
'The Hill' reports that a four-day workweek is
an innovative method to boost productivity
by offering employees more time off.
According to the results of a June survey,
over half of U.S. workers said they were
open to the idea of a four-day workweek
