I’m writing to you to ask for you to support Representative Takano’s 32 hour workweek bill, HR4728. A shorter workweek would benefit both employers and employees alike. Pilot programs run by governments and businesses across the globe have shown promising results as productivity climbed and workers reported better work-life balance, less need to take sick days, heightened morale, and lower childcare expenses because they had more time with their family and children. Shorter workweeks have also been shown to further reduce healthcare premiums for employers, lower operational costs for businesses, and have a positive environmental impact in some of these studies. The pandemic has made it clear we need to rethink how we work and move past new deal era standards. Vote yes on HR4728
