Reply to comment by No-Setting9690 in Could a 4-Day, 32-Hour Work Week Come to Pennsylvania? These 3 Democrats Are Working On It by Open_Veins_8

I’m a 12 hour shift worker doing a minimum of 48 hours a week. I don’t see this happening for industrial employees or 24/7 operations. In your place, since 5 days would be required, would it be possible to work employees for less hours for 5 days? Just out of curiosity. If there was a 32 max work week, could the same job be done in 6.5 hours a day instead of 8?

Call center hours, we must be open. Customer services positions just cant do that. I'm operations/IT. I'm here before and and after everyone. Wish I could do less than 10 hours, is what it is.

I think the downvotes are from workers who genuinely don’t understand that some things can’t stop. Not everyone works a remote office job

No. But there are other solutions. Hire more people, for example... If there is enough work that one person has to spend that much time there, then you have enough work for two people.

Oh I get it. Let's look at it realistically l. Let's say they cut hours for a certain business, well now they may not be open that extra day..it will cause inconvenience or an in flux in the days they're open. Causing more work in a reduced time.
