Please Support AB 2932 worker efficiency has been increasing for decades but we have been making less and less money with less and less time. We are both time and money poor while owners pocket the fruits of our labor. We must sell so much of our time and labor that we have none for our own homes or to rest and recover. Workers fought and died for the 40 hour work week so they would have the ability to rest. That was with a single source of income and the assumption that there was a person doing house tasks full time. Now all adults in a household must work full time just to survive and we have nothing left for ourselves.
Shorter work weeks are not only good for workers they are good for businesses. Rested, happy workers are far more efficient than tired, burnt out workers. Studies all over the world have shown this. Some businesses will attempt to fight this, not because it isn't good for them but because they are unwilling to give up control and they feel entitled to our time and labor. Support the 32 hour work week.
