Why change it? What is wrong with 40 hours?
Why does the gooberment feel it is their role to have any hand in any of this?
I’m sure people would love to work less and be paid for more but that is unaffordable. We get little enough work out of people now and what is more, we don’t have enough work hours to go around as it is.
Won’t society and business interests manage this on their own as needs be?
Another politician not doing his job and not knowing what that is.
It is hard enough to change ourselves and nearly impossible to change someone else. Isn’t society similar? Isn’t it hard enough to change without gooberment insisting they change it for us?
A little history of the USA labor laws...
The Wage and Hour Division was created with the enactment of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938. The Division is responsible for the administration and enforcement of a wide range of laws which collectively cover virtually all private and State and local government employment. The Division is comprised of a nationwide staff of investigators, supervisors, and technical and clerical employees responsible for enforcing FLSA, Government Contracts labor standards statutes, the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act, the Employee Polygraph Protection Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 also provided certain additional enforcement responsibilities to be undertaken by the Wage and Hour Division staff.

Voter: " Hell yeah! I want to work 4 days instead of 5!
Progressive secret: half of the voters are below average (by any measure).
