I recall one of the ways to enforce a 4 day workweek was to enforce OT starting at 32 hours.
You could keep working 40+ hrs a week but it would hit the owners wallets.
Combine that with raising minimum wage and you're getting closer to UBI.
Neither one would help me I think being salary and around medium working class.
They don't even enforce OT over 40 for salaried positions.
That's my point...
That'll just make employers hire more employees with less hours.
Which is a good thing isn't it? Less overworked people and less unemployment
The offset is ypu need to pay for overhead like benefits/HR/payroll/licenses/training for more employees. So there's a breakeven somewhere in there.
If anything it's more jobs.
