• Pilot programs of a 4-day workweek have been a resounding success, with revenue up and workers happier.

• Takano is reintroducing his act to make the standard workweek just 32 hours long.

As the workers of the world ponder whether they should be on the job just four days a week, Congressman Mark Takano once again wants to make it law in the US.

Takano has reintroduced his 32 Hour Workweek Act, which would tweak the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to make the standard workweek 32 hours, instead of the 40 it's currently at.
