Bill would make the four day workweek a reality

Washington Post - The movement for a 4-day workweek is gaining ground. Dozens of U.K. companies just wrapped up the biggest pilot program to date, with more than 90 percent of firms saying they wouldn’t go back to working five days a week. States and municipalities across the United States are considering ways to encourage more employers to give it a go.And last week, Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.) reintroduced a bill in the House that would make the 32-hour workweek a national standard and lower threshold triggering overtime compensation for most employees.
